| DennisB has fabricated a connector that will fit right in with the headlight wiring. Please correct me if I'm wrong Dennis. It is good for about 4 amps of power I believe so if you need more than that, for heated clothing or something, then you need to run a wire from the battery. Is this just for a gps or something that only needs a small amount of amps? |

| Hi Guys, Yes, The Quick Headlight Power Connector (pigtail) is for connecting low amp draw accessories 4-5 amps Max. I have 2 power outlets installed on my scooter. One in the left glove box and one in the center of my dash, just about 6" below my on/off key position. Both are wired to the battery and are combine into a 15 amp fuse and on a single relay under the left rear cover. The center outlet is meant for heated apparel. Just under the center glove box. |

| Tagg: If you want to tap into your low beam headlight power, remove the windshield garnish, and pull the connector from the upper bulb. Use the white wire for power and any ground wire that's close. |
