Splicing into aux socket wire

[Se7enheaven]

I am a totally hopeless Electrician ( as you can tell ) , so appreciate advice please.
I am adding a pair of 3Watt LED Cree lights to my BMW S1000 XR motorcycle. I am installing a wiring loom as per the diagram posted below , and I want to install the spliced wire to the Auxillary socket power supply ,rather than the sidelight as suggested .As the bike has a Daytime lights and sidelights which operate separately from their own switch, so thought the aux power socket a better option.
However the bike wiring is Can Bus system and I’m worried that splicing into even something as simple as the Aux socket will cause problems. I have also attached the BMW wiring diagram and appreciate any feedback.

I am almost certain that your bike will fail its next MOT if connecting the lights power supply to any other circuit than a lighting circuit

Check up on MOT regs and post back if you need more help

Ah , ok. Not going to take a chance with that then.
The next “more easily “ accessible wire will be the main beam I guess. Would I tap into the white wire ?

Going by your above idea, I take it that you want the lights to work only when main beam is on (white is main)

Does your bike have a bulb failure warning light?
Although the white wire will only be powering the kits supplied relay through a switch, If your bike has a bulb failure device fitted there is a very good chance that the adding of the relay current draw will cause the bulb failure light to come on, it could also cause a problem with the control module that powers the lights

First choose what lighting circuit you want to power the kits switch (side, dip or main)

Now check that your above choice is ok MOT wise

Once you're good to go, wire the supply to your chosen circuit at one of the bikes switched supplies (switched outputs) at a point in its circuit before any control units

It is possible to have the kits switch supplied by more than one lighting circuit but relay/s or diodes would be needed to achieve this
