GT Marvel Trunk Light Black w/ Red Turn Signals for 2021+ Gold Wing Tour
ITEM CODE: BB52-970RBK, SKU: BB52-970RBK
Watch out for those blue splice connectors
| light works great and looks great too. When installing it one of the critical items is to use blue splice connectors on 5 wires. The splice connectors are made for trailer wiring and are therefore best used on wire gauges like 16ga found on a normal trailer. But the wiring harnesses you are splicing to on this kit are more like 20 gauge. The splice connectors will still work but you really have to crimp them very hard to get a connection. When I first wired everything up, the only part of the light that was working was the brake light. After a few hours of disassembling to check things I finally flashed on these small gauge wires and I put my pliers to them harder than I had ever squeezed on an electrical connection in my life. After that all but the running lights started working so I took the running light wire back down and squeezed even harder when re-crimping. Now everything works. Nothing wrong with this kit if you know that one little thing. I called Show Chrome in the middle of all this and they were as helpful as possible and quickly offered to send a new unit out so no complaints on them. Just put on your Man Panties and crank on those blues splices harder than you think you should and you'll like the result |
LED Trunk Light for 2018+ Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: HO08U74MKCA00, SKU: HO08U74MKCA00
Works fine. One thing to watch for
| This light is bright enough to be useful. Expensive but useful. But what you need to know when installing it is that the bike basically has to be back together 100% or it won't work. The light comes on if the trunk (or saddlebags) are open and it stays on for a few minutes. After a few minutes it goes off and it won't come back on unless you close the trunk and open it again. When you want to test it before finishing re-assembly, you will also find that it won't come on at all if the seat and backrest are not plugged in. So you think your trunk light is broken but it's not. Put the bike completely back together or else be creative in having it back together enough to test. Took me HOURS of reassembly, disassembly and reassembly to learn this little quirk. |
