Darla Light settings on Dashboard?

[Dreamer]

Hi, just recently installed Darla lights from Clearwater on my R1200 RT. During daytime it is not visable what the settings are. Is there a way to have the settings visable on the dashboard? 

 

Next to that I understand the Darla lights only come up when bike running, but saw a video where someone had them on while only the contact was on! Any idea if that is a standard setting?

No, the settings cannot be tied into the dash, unless someone engineers a way to do it.   They need to be programmed while the engine is running.   HERE is the CAN-Opener manual to help you program the lights.   

 

The wiring for the lights get tied into the bikes harness via the CAN-Opener connector.   That allows the user to affect the use of the lights, such as intensity, flashing, strobe, and such as the like.

 

If you have a wonder wheel on your RT, then you can control the light intensity.  Mine go to full power with the high beams and horn activation.  I have them set at 75% for daytime use and 10% night time (yeah, I had to lower it as folks got annoyed on my commute in the moring. HA)  That feature is controlled by the bikes photcell, which works my Nav VI brightness; not sure what else that would be needed for, but Clearwater figured a use for it.

 

The lights are programmed to light up only when the engine is operating.   If you do not have a wonder wheel, then you may need the handlebar control that Clearwater offers.  I am not sure if it is still available; I did not find it during a quick search.  You may want to CONTACT THEM for more info.

 

Cheers,
