Sorry I thought you were trying to use the power point with a lighter element, I think someone tried that once and posted he had a meltdown.

 

i replaced mine with the lighter socket, no problems with fuzes. and i didn't remove the speaker pod, needle nose for me too.

 

I too replaced the 12v charger with the HD cig lighter. I didn't cut the wires as instructed, I took two short pieces of wire and put crimp connectors that corresponds to the two factory connectors. Use it all the time with aux lights on, no issues. Also have my aux lights flashed to stay on with brights...

 

I too replaced mine with the lighter, probably over 20,000 mi. ago, never had a problem, something is shorting out

 

I tapped into the PowerPort circuit and installed the HD cigarette lighter under the gas gauge. I use both at the same time with the driving lights and have never had a problem either.

 

That cigarette lighter kit instructions indicate that it will draw only an additional 5 amps. If you're popping the stock P&A 20 amp fuse, you have something shorting out intermittently. That 30 amp fuse to the battery will probably blow too at some point or burn your bike down. You should find & fix the short issue.

 

I did, it was the socket. It's a simple thing, and visually I couldn't see anything wrong with it. But replaced it and all is fine. Am still going to leave it on it's own fused circuit.

 

What do you mean "aux lights flashed" to stay on with brights? What did you have to do to do that?

 

It is a dealer flash, allowing the spot/passing lamps to stay on while on high beam.

 

Ask your dealer, they will flash the ecm so the aux lights will remain on when bright lights are switched on. Mine did not charge me for this. Only on 14 and later
