6. Setup and Installation

These lights are designed for straightforward installation on most motorcycles with an 8mm mounting bolt. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected before starting any electrical work.
2. Mounting:
   • If your motorcycle has existing 8mm mounting bolts for blinkers, remove the original lights.
   • Insert the new Nilight LED Turn Signal Light into the existing mounting hole. Secure it with the provided nut.
   • If no suitable hole exists, drill an 8mm hole at the desired mounting location. Ensure the location provides clear visibility and does not interfere with other motorcycle components.
3. Wiring Connections: The lights come with a 3-wire setup. Refer to the diagram below for correct connections:
   • Black Wire: Connect to the motorcycle's Ground (-).
   • Red Wire: Connect to the motorcycle's Brake Light (+) or Daytime Running Light (+) circuit.
   • Yellow Wire: Connect to the motorcycle's Running Light (+) or Tail Light (+) circuit.

   Note: For turn signal functionality, the yellow wire will typically connect to the turn signal circuit, and the red wire to the brake circuit. If using as a combined running/brake/turn signal, consult a professional or your motorcycle's wiring diagram.

4. Secure Connections: Use appropriate electrical connectors (e.g., crimped butt connectors with heat shrink) to ensure secure and weather-resistant connections.
5. Test Functionality: Reconnect the battery and test all light functions (turn signals, brake lights, running lights) before riding.

Important Tip: Most modern motorcycles have LED-compatible turn signal relays. However, some older models may require a load resistor (not included) to prevent hyper-flashing or incorrect signal operation. If you experience rapid flashing, a load resistor may be necessary.

7. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and wired, the Nilight LED Turn Signal and Brake Tail Lights operate in conjunction with your motorcycle's existing electrical system:

• Turn Signals: When the turn signal switch is activated, the corresponding light will flash amber, indicating your intended direction.
• Brake Lights: When the brake lever or pedal is engaged, the lights will illuminate red, signaling deceleration or stopping.
• Running/Tail Lights: When your motorcycle's lights are on, the lights will illuminate red (or amber, depending on wiring) as a constant running light, increasing your visibility to others.

8. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Nilight LED Turn Signal and Brake Tail Lights, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the light lenses periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens material.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the lights for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Ensure the mounting bolts are tight.
• Water Resistance: While the lights are designed to be waterproof, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the lights during washing, especially at the wiring entry points.
