Fitting Moto Guzzi Accessory LED Fog/Auxillary Lights - 2S002059

I intend to create a “How to do this” guide for the installation of the factory rear mounting rail, the engine guards, the fog lights, the front dash USB port, etc.

I’ve written many guides like this here.
 
I’m forward to the how to guide to help me think through my auxiliary light install (I already have a set of Clearwater Darla lights that I plan to use). Thank you in advance Scott!

The parts just arrived yesterday. Although I initially thought that you did not require the engine bars, as per the information GTM posted, which said the engine bars were required, I also ordered a set of those which arrived yesterday as well. We will see what is what soon.

I probably will not get to install in until later next week. When I do, I will document it and share it.

Your wiring hookup might be wrapped in the loom ,like mine was , there is one plug that is for something else look deeper to the left of the battery area.
 
LEDs installed

At first I was planning to use accessory LED, same brand as I installed on my BMW few years back. However, since there is already pre-installed electrical connection on the Guzzi, crash bars have mounting points, getting more information proved difficult and factory set is not that more expensive I have ordered one last week. It arrived yesterday and got installed in the evening.

500 euros delivered so in colonial money that would be about 550 dollars.

The set is like IKEA flat pack furniture, just don’t be a regular man, don’t start with discarding the instructions, just follow them. It’s fast and easy job and everything fits with ease.

For me slight hindrance was that I had crash bars installed already and in order to weave cables through they needed to be loosen up bit.

For installation one needs torx, Allen and socket wrenches but for reasonably well stocked toolbox that shouldn’t be a problem.

The current for LED is about 3 Amps and they seem pretty bright. For obvious reasons I can’t do a night time test drive right now.

The picture might be misleading because of bright snow filter in the phone.

LEDs are operated by the light switch and here lays the biggest drawback of the system, at least for me. Every time the key is off and on again the LEDs need to be turned back on again. They don’t stay and I like them on all the time.

Little update,
for safety I like when additional LEDs are on all the time. Wouldn’t like to be bothered to switch them every time I turn the ignition key. So I have slightly tweaked the accessory wiring loom and added bi-stable switch. Now the LEDs can be on all the time with the key or can be at will with the factory setup.
 
For the Guzzi owners who don’t want to be bothered with accessory lights, the original LED cable can be utilised to install any lights. The thing is, the bike panel checks the resistance in the control circuit. Once there is some resistance any added accessory lights can be operated through red light button. The only problem might be the resistance value, the accessory set has a relay with 120 Ohm, standard automotive relay are 80-90 Ohms. I don’t think that should pose any problem.

I think this set is identical with offered as Guzzi accessory less relay, wiring loom, mounting bits and 120 Euros.

Just installed a set of MG fog lights, followed the instructions, all connections seem good but can’t get the lights to turn on? Is there something I need to turn on in the dash menu to activate??

No and the problem is the control circuit for the relay. (green/yellow to blue center pins)

I have both a 80 Ohm and 120 Ohm relay and the control circuit will not actuate either of them.
