I'm considering adding aux lights. Looking a the factor BMW accessory lights, they install a switch on the left side and a mounting bar. Looking through the parts diagrams, but bar and wiring appear to be available to purchase separately.

What I'd like to do is install Denali lights, MaMo bars and then hook them up via the factory switch and harness. So, is there a blanked off plug on the bike that allows all this? To ask it a different way, how do the BMW aux lights get power?

If you go with a DENALI CANsmart or Hex ezCAN, it�s all plug and play. The multifunction wheel does some things, on/off by pressing and holding the turn signal switch.

Yeah, it�s an extra $200, but you don�t end up cutting or splicing. Biggest hassle is routing wires�which you will be doing anyhow.

I'll read through. Thanks. I already have an Ezcan installed and it's being used for the Cyclops turn signals, though I'd also like to install a horn. So, I'm trying to not use up more circuits from that. I will go that route if I can't figure this out.
