I just received my Admore Mini Light Bar and perused MV for advice on how to properly install it on my MP3 250 with a Piaggio 48L top case.

I have no problem fastening it to the top case mount. However, from there on, I am lost.

My questions are as follows...

1. Where do I run the Admore cable? Do I have to drill a hole somewhere to get it into the storage compartment?

2. Where exactly do I connect the Admore colored cables? I looked under the right side of my scooter and saw a lot of wiring. I do see the fuse box and wonder if that's where I connect the cable.

I wish someone would post a how-to video. Maybe one exists? If so, I would love to see it.

Thanks,

Here's how I did mine:

After removing the left light assembly I tapped into the 4 pin connector to the light assembly. If memory serves, Black for ground, white for brake, red for left turn and yellow for positive (note: colours may be different on your bike, so use a continuity tester to make sure). I then removed the right light assembly and ran a short wire around the rear for the right turn tapping into the white/blue wire. I'm sure I could have tapped into a different wire on the left side as that is where the relay is, but this seemed the easiest way without removing the side panel.

I used an existing hole behind the backrest to route the cable inside. I believe on the other side (in the trunk) there was a rubber grommet that I poked a hole into and ran the cable through. I then routed the cable into the side panel were all the brake wires are.

Good luck and be sure to post some pictures when its done.

Thanks for the tips! You inspired me to record a how-to video on how I installed mine to my 250.
