dynamo lights - installation instructions?

[moia]

Hi, I received a set of dynamo lights (basta 8201/quattro/trio, think they may be trio) for xmas last year and just getting around to fitting them (also have battery ones so it's belt and braces thing...) but the instructions are really confusing , I'm not sure even if I have all the bits that came with the pack... googled them but not much luck... does anyone have these? any tips or more info? would be much appreciated

1. Is it this kit or something similar?

2. Does it come with a mounting bracket to attach the dynamo to the bike?

yep that's it, although the front light is slightly different... and there is a mounting bracket too

just realised 'dynamo lights' thread in 'know how' deals with similar problems - think I may have worked it out, will have to wait till i have time off work later in the week to check...

I'll go away then. PM me to wake me up again!

Some dynamo systems are designed to "earth" through the frame of the bike. If that is the case, I would run seperate earth wires as it will work better. Car speaker wire is suitable and cheap.
