Usually the front turn sigs will be dual filament bulbs. Dim for running lts, bright for turn sig. Same as a tail/stop light. it's generally set up like this: Red wire for bright, black wire for dim. Ground is through the mounting bolt.
The running lights will be fed from the relay. The relay is just a remote switch that turns something on without having to run all the power through the regular switch. You can feed more amps to the part being turned on that the switch could normally handle.
Each light needs a pos and a ground to light.
So it should go like this-
Spot lights- Fed through the relay. The relay should have several terminals on it One is the feed from the battery, one is the output to the lights, one is the "trigger" that "closes" the relay and lets the power go through the relay from the battery to the lights. The last terminal will be a ground.This is the ground for the relay, not the lights. Vehicle electrical systems are DC (direct current) and ALL DC components need both a pos and a ground to work. Even a relay.
Both spotlights will be fed from the (+) output wire from the relay. The trigger wire should go to either a new switch or to the back of the headlight where it goes to either the low beam (on all the time) wire or the high beam (on with the high beams)wire. If the spotlights have one wire each they are grounded through the mounting bolt-to the light bar-to the chassis. Always make sure ground is good,(grounded to chassis steel, not to paint) run a seperate ground wire from the mounting bolt to the frame if needed.
The turn sigs won't be wired through the relay, they should go like this:
Ground-same to both sides probably through mounting bolt
running lights- same to both sides, fed from original running light wires
Turn sigs- left and right seperate. use original wires on bike.
Good luck.
