Which ever option you use, you will have to use a relay if you want to tie it into the map lights.

Great ideas from everyone, but my question is has anyone located the wires for the maplight? I want to wire footwell lights to the automatic maplight tap so only the footwells come on automatically but retain the ability to turn the maplights on manually. Anybody figured this out yet?

Neon tubes will not fade.....as stated...they will be on or off. LED tubes will fade off, as most products on the market are made to run on 12v or less, so as you give it a fading power source (dimming), the light will decrease in brightness. Althought, this is true for some Neon Tubes on the market as well....so if you look hard enough, you'll find a fading neon, but LED's are the way to go!

We tapped into the mirror. I think we did black as ground and blue as power. I'll hopefully get pics tonight if everything goes as planned. My friend just got hit by a car on his crotch rocket and is in critical condition at UofM with a possible broken neck

Wow my sincere apologies to your friend and I hope it all turns out for the best. I am looking to buy a crotch rocket as well or a harley sometime. I hope he was wearing protection. No one here wears gear. Was it a left turner? Those are the worse. Keep me updated on his status and just post the pics when you have time no rush.

thats crazy matt. best wishes to your friend.


One of my good friends from work was hit on his way home last night too. Some guy jumped two lanes of traffic and knocked him over the guard rail. He always rides in full gear and only has a few bruises but was out today. Scary ****.

Hope your friend is OK. I'm a fellow biker too and I know how that is.

The map light is the grey wire. The black is the ground. I mentioned earlier, the grey wire works differently. When the light is on, there is no power in the grey wire. When the light is off, there is power in the grey wire. The grey wire is the triger wire for the map lights. You will need a relay.

Im still waiting for someone to come out with that. A supporting vendor on here makes them for other cars but won't make it for the solstice unless they get alot of interest in it.
