Hi, I am in the process to install some LED Spots on the bike. I obtained a very useful article from the "Extreme Lights" website that explains in detail how to do the installation yourself. I however have a question for the guys who have done it before.

In the diagram it shows that I must use a diode in the wiring harness that I am building. My question is, which diode must I use, and where can I find one? My second question is, looking at the diagram, will the spots be on permanently, or only if i switch the headlight to bright?

I previously installed a lightbar on my bakkie with a complete harness that I simply bought from an 4x4 store. Easy plug-and-play installation, but for the bike I want to build it myself, and electronics is not my strong suite.

Any advice is much appreciated!  :thumleft:
