Parklight Battery Driven And Headlight Stator Driven Diy Diagram

Gie

Super Veteran
sir is it ok if i do battery operated on my park light and headlight?
yes sir... converting stator driven to battery driven is advisable for those who want to change their stock bulb to LED specially to park light and turn signal light. if you install led lights to your "stock" wiring/electrical (not converted) it will busted all led lights in the long run because it cannot handle the voltage came out from the stator... hope it helps...;)

im planning to install a LED on my Headlight. if i convert it do i need to convert also the park light to battery operated. it is safe or just the Headlight only?
Normally once you've converted your headlight of battery operated, it will make your auxiliary lights to be battery operated also.. :D But it's in you if you want your headlight alone to be battery operated, you will just need to put a relay to separate the rectifier/stator source (Yellow-red wire) to your battery source (Brown or Red).. ;) Just analyze the circuit before doing it so that you will not encounter trouble..:D

My sniper MX is AHO, and im planning to put a switch for my headlight, park light, meter light and tail light so i ordered to our 3s here a switch assembly for mio (since they told me that it fit also to my sniper mx and cost cheaper). Do i need to add a relay or i connect directly the wire for headlight and the auxiliary lights?

Correct me if im wrong in the wiring schematic diagram that i am planning to use as reference....TIA

No need to add relay bro if your planning to make your headlight & parklight stator driven.;)
Wiring diagram is correct..:thumbsup:

Thanks for the reply bro and highly appreciated... So next thing i will do is to trace its respective wires since my diagram is correct...:)

This is interesting and just the time I am really in need of the expert's advice :rolleyes:
I just installed a 2nd hand wiring harness for x1r, number 1 problem : it's AHO though I know it's how most new models of mc's are manufactured if I'm not mistaken, but I think it's better to conserve that energy or battery power not just 1 but 2 hl, and I can't help but smile when other motorist say "yung ilaw mu bukas!" , or "aga aga nka-ilaw ka pa!" How I wish I can tell them that I'm on it just taking it slow (DIY fanatic hehehe). Number 2 problem : I observed that my double hl is fading when I hit on the brakes considering that I'm still using stock bulbs. I am planning to change my light bulbs to led bulbs just as master @gie advised me to but still thinking twice. Hope to hear from you soon.

can i request for a diagram to make both my headlight and parklight battery driven? i'm planning to use RTD LED headlight, thanks masters :thumbsup:
just connect the yellow wire from the main switch of parklight/headlight to brownwire...

you have option to cut yellow wire or just diconnect from the socket then connect to brown wire.:)
@Erowbone

No relay is needed.. Just make sure and be very careful that you tap the proper cable..

You must cut the Yellow-Red Wire (normally located at the headlight).. When done, take the cable that is going to your headlight switch and tap it to the any brown wire nearby.. then properly seal with electrical tape the remaing half of the yellow-red cable that is going to the magneto/stator to avoid electrocution..:D This will make all of your headlight and auxiliary lights to be battery operated.. See the post of Sir @thon.. Thanks for his share..:D

paps tanung ko lang po kung parehas lang ng harness ang sniper at x1r? nagconvert po kasi ako ng sniper to x1r at pinalitan ng buong wiring.. balak ko po sana gawing battery driven ang headlight at parklight ko? thanks po..

Calling the attention of papa @john_carlo, @thon :help:
I install the rtd-LED and converted my headlight and parklight to battery operated the way you have said unfortunately all my LED peanut bulb (parklight) was busted "kaboom"..Bakit kaya? pati yung LED backlight ng panel..:help:

paps... check mo muna yung voltage ng cinonvert mo na battery operated wire using voltmeter, baka lagpas sa required voltage ng parklight mo...

hindi paps eh..pero nung rekta ko xa sa battery positive and negative ok nmn sila eh..pero nung nilagay ko na sa socket nila..ayun wala na kaboom..pero yung orig/stock peanut bulb wala nmn prob kaya yun muna gamit ko ngyon stock peanut bulb..

recheck mo yung wiring mo paps baka nakatap ka pa rin sa Y/R wire, at palaging echeck mo yung voltage para iwas sunog sa LED...
