• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage.

Need help identifying wire colors for wiring admorelighting top mount lights.

Looking for some help.

I bought a set of admore lighting top mount lights for the Givi V58 top case which is going on the wife's 2022 Spyder RT.

I was hoping to use a harness that plugs into the stock CIC1 harnesses under the seat but the harness I bought, after wiring it to match the lights wiring diagram, no matter which directional I try, both the left and right flash. The harness may also have the brake and running light wire colors wrong too and well that could be causing this whole issue.

Does anyone know on the bikes CIC1 wiring harness, which color is for brakes, which is for running light, which is for left turn and which is for right? Ground is the only obvious one.

Thank you.

This is off a 23. Should be the same. Is this what you want?

I identified all of the connections with the help of your diagram. Odd that every connection on the Show Chrome PnP connector is correct but both blinkers flash. Admore also sent me the color sequence so between the both, I should be able to get it to work.
 
Here's an update on the Admore lights, LED58 for the Givi V58 top case. They don't work as intended. Either the signal for left/right blinker is too low, or there's a leak somewhere in Admore's dip switch, but when I hook the lights up and try either blinker, both lights flash. Admore has been fairly good about trying to figure this out, but I think my last email triggered them because it was a detailed description of what I did and what I ran into. So, in doing some research, my next step is to add a diode to each signal wire between the dip switch and the LED's. If that doesn't work, I'm yanking those lights, buying 4 wire lights, buying a canbus converter (for trailer lighting), and hooking everything up without having some stupid dip switch as a point of failure.

I'll let you know how the diode worked out. I'm hopeful, but skeptical at the same time. Unfortunately, I don't have the money for an OEM top case, even though the dealer was giving me 20% off. It was still $2,300 after taxes. Plus, I'd have to buy the lights from slingmods, which is another $400. I've spent around $1,200 so far, so that's a huge price gap.

It is a big price gap. I don't blame you for taking that route. But I'm dying to know if the diode works?

Sorry for such a late response. No, the diode idea did not work. In fact, the Admore lights do not work in the 2022 Spyder RT, regardless of the Admore guy telling me they've sold many for the newer Spyders. They don't work and I am living proof. Plus, I think Admore no longer wants to work with me. I emailed them about 3 weeks ago and let them know that the new part they sent that they were sure was going to resolve the issue, didn't resolve the issue, I have yet to hear back from them.

Here's the problem with those lights and the Spyder. There are only 3 wires on the Admore lights, a black, a red and a yellow. But those lights are supposed to provide 3 functions; brake light, running lights and turn signals. The brake lights and running lights work, but when I hit the blinker switch, both lights blink. I am not 100% sure as to why and at this point, it doesn't matter. There should be dedicated wires for each operation and with the Admore lights, there are not. I even tried using the Show Chrome fuse block and even that didn't separate the signals. So, something is amiss there and frankly, I gave up on it. I had spent way too much time trying to get them to work. I just could not.

I ended up buying True Mod 8" lights. However, the issue I had with the True Mod lights and the Givi V58 case is that the lights come encased in molded silicone because the lights can be mounted where weather can affect them. I ended up removing all of that silicone, so I had just the light strip left, and then was able to get them to mount under the red lens on the case. I had to remove the decorative plastic chrome piece that is in the red lens, but that's no big deal. Looks better without it to be honest.

I'm thinking of making a video and explaining the process just in case someone else wants to add lights to the Givi V58 top case.
