Article: In addition to the LED light kit, you'll need additional electrical wire, preferably in two different colors to help you differentiate the positive and negative battery connections. The job will also require velcro strips (or a permanent adhesive if you prefer), additional 18- or 20-gauge electrical wire, sandpaper, pliers, screwdrivers, soldering equipment (or soldering gel), wire terminal connectors, electrical tape, and an in-line fuse. Test the strip by attaching the positive lead wire to the positive terminal  on a battery and connecting the negative lead wire to the negative side of the battery terminal. Make sure that each individual strip fully lights.  Your LED kit may come with a battery you can use to test the LED strips. If not, you can use your motorcycle's battery to test them. Just make sure you disconnect it from the motorcycle first. You can even use a spare nine-volt battery you have around to test the strips.  As you're testing the strips, separate all of the same-size strips into different piles. This will make it easier to use them later. It's a good idea to disconnect the motorcycle's battery now even if you don't need to use it to test the LED strips. In most models of motorcycle, you will find the battery located beneath the seat. By disconnecting the battery, you can test your LED light strips without worry of harming the other motorcycle components that it powers. Your specific LED kit may come with instructions for where to mount your lights, but if not, use painter's tape to temporarily attach them to the motorcycle. Try a couple of designs and make sure that you have enough strips to complete the design you want. Make sure you're using masking tape since it won't hurt the paint on your motorcycle at all when you peel it back off. Your LED kit will come with a switch, which should have three leads on the back—positive, negative, and ground. Pick a comfortable location where you will later mount the switch.
