High Beam/Low Beam ?

summitboy · Jan 19, 2008

I have a Cyclops 50 watt helmet light that i want to rewire. I have two Piaa lights running off the high beam wires. Is there a difference in voltage/amperage between the highs and low beam wires ? Will i get the same output with the low beam wires. I'm not sure if the stator can handle 3 50 watt bulbs off the high beam wires. I want to try my helmet light out and then possibly nix my Piaa's. Ideas ?

HEy i know its off the topic, but how many watts are your piaa lights? I wanna put some on my apex but i have found some with different wattages, and wonder if that can be hard on the system. thanks man

No difference in voltage between the high and low beam. Higher wattage (brighter) bulbs consume more power by drawing higher amperage. I x E = W.......voltage times current equals Wattage

This is what i used and made my own bracket instead of paying huge money for a complete kit.

I see about the wattage. So if i wire my headlamp to my low beams it should be as bright as it can possibly be. Thanks

Thats right.

when you increase the work load (watts) you increase your current (Amps).
just make sure your fuse can handle it. the volts don't change.

amps x volts = watts

I got it all figured out. The plug that came with it is fubar. Fixed it all up and the light is super bright now. Thanks
