Kenny,

Have you got one or two spare spots on your relay plate? If you have you will need to buy relay(s) to fit in them to get both lights working. You don't need to spend fortunes either. A standard switching relay will do the trick nicely. Your local motor spares shop should carry these in stock.

If you look at your relay plate, the first relay from the front of the bike being number 1, the relays should go into slots 2 and 4.

Hope this helps ?

Cheers
