Headlight and Convoy light

Post by Allan Shannon »

Colleagues

I have both of these great items from Steve Winstone fitted onto my tiger 1 (nearly completed ). I have no knowledge of how to connect these up, so would appreciate some advice/instruction as how to do this, photos or diagrams would be greatly appreciated and I am sure there are others that would benefit from this.

Many Thanks Allan

Firstly you need to find out from Steve the voltage of the bulbs in them.

Have a look here to give you an idea of how I went about it. I think you have the same electronics as myself and you use also the DX8 as the transmitter.

Providing the bulbs are 12 volts then I was going to suggest exactly what Vince has done. I have used the aux output on the aux module several times and have used a 3 position switch together with a diode to perform multiple operations.

Ask Steve about the rating of the bulbs.
When I had asked him the same question he said both bulbs were 12V.
