Flash mode will just be quick button press same as any normal light set up.

5W is because it's a Cree LED bulb.....

125W is because they are demented yanks and think that is how it would compare to a std bulb...

What they should be giving is the Lumins....

Having had a pair they are OK, but unless you have got bars to mount on already a real PIA.

yes, as I said cheap Chinese but I wanted them just to have more visibility from other road users. I've got a Tiger 800 and I know the bike has already a plug for fog lights. Problem is the plug is just for the oem lights which cost 250£. no so keen on that.
So I thought if there was a way to attach those to that plug maybe using a "female" attachment.... not sure. there a video of a guy who did it but it doesn't show step by step how he did it.

I also suppose I'll ned to buy those https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-12V-FOG-SPOT-DRIVING-LAMP-LIGHT-FUSED-WIRING-LOOM-HARNESS-KIT-RELAY-/231354241558?hash=item35ddc99216:g:eRMAAOSw1x1UM9BT#rwid

Use your (or borrow a) multi-meter to check the output voltages on the plug when the switch is on / off.

Once you know which pin in the plug is live and which isnt - you should be able to follow the supplied wiring diagram to connect the spots?

Without a pic of the plug I dont know what kind of thing you are dealing with, but there are many connector choices available, one should fit snugly enough in it (on it?) to work.

Hope that helps! Thumbs Up

Thanks for that, also what does this mean?

Note:Light do not direct line of sight,so as not to affect the front of the drive of the vehicle traffic accidents.

Probably means, Do not set up the lights to be shining directly into the eyes of drivers following you, it could cause an accident
