Ive added so many electrical accessories Im concerned there may not be enough power left for a set of heated grips. Any suggestions?
Hot Grips® don’t use much power and this is rarely a problem. However, if you are concerned, one easy way to lessen the load on your electrical system is to replace one or more of your traditional light bulbs with their modern LED equivalents. For example, a traditional tail/brake light bulb (model # 1157) uses 8 watts when it functions as a tail light and when the brakes are applied, it uses an additional 20 watts. LED (light emitting diode) bulbs need only about 1/10 that amount of power. While we can’t recommend other manufacturer’s products, we’d suggest you look for an LED bulb that is approved for use on the public roads by the D.O.T. (Department of Transportation). LED bulbs are not suitable for use on every vehicle. An LED bulb uses so little power that it may fool some on-board computers into thinking the bulb has failed. Consult with your dealer to see if they are appropriate.
