It only gets power after the starter has been hit, so it won't draw power away from starting the bike, and it automatically turns the lights off when you turn the key off.

- July 28, 2010, 10:35:19 AMI bought a couple of 55 watt 12 volt spotlights and I'm quite the novice when it comes to electrical. I just spoke to a kawasaki mechanic and he told me to splice the spots into the starter wires that run into the headlight. I was originally going to splice into the headlight but I don't want to drain the battery. I noticed a distribution box running from the starter wires... can I just plug them into that, or do I need to just splice into the wires? Also, when I splice can I run two pos. (one from each spot) into one pos. from the starter and same with the neg.? All I have is a pos. and neg. wire coming out of the spot. Any suggestions on how to wire this thing? The mechanic also said not to worry about a relay box. Any help would be great... thanks!
