Clearwater Krista install on R1200R

Check out my review here:

...and two wires that do essentially the same thing. One goes to the horn hot lead, and the other to the high-beam hot lead. These cause the LED's to come to full brightness if you blow the horn or use the high beam, and may or may not be used, depending on the preference of the owner. I chose not to use them at this time and simply put some heat-shrink tubing on the leads and tucked them out of harms way.

Nice review on the Krista's. I was considering them but went with the smaller Glenda's which were specific for the GS. Either way Clearwater does a nice job with their lights, wiring for Canbus, and hardware. One feature I really like, which you did not use, is the "full on" which is triggered by the high beam. For those not familiar with this feature it works like this;
These lights are so bright I dim them to 1/2 during daylight (and they are *still* bright) and only 1/4 at night as to not blind oncoming traffic. Having the "full on with high beam" means just that. They instantly increase to 100% brightness with the high beam. So on an empty road at night they are blazing away, when I switch to low beam for an oncoming car they automatically revert to my dimmer setting of 1/4.
