- HI,
In this video I will show you how to use the accessory jumper socket provided by RE inside the headlight dome to connect a mobile charger or any other electrical accessory. This socket has it own 10am fuse in the fuse box so it is safe to use , and your charger will only power up when the ignition is on means no strain on the battery.
For this we need a 2 pic male female electrical coupler which bought from Bhagirath palace electrical market of Delhi only for Rs 20/-.
Be careful with headlight when you open or close it to protect the glass.
Thanks

Can you plz tell the specific name of the coupler? I am not able to get one like that.
@@Sudeeppaona they just called it 2 pin Automotive and mechanical coupler , i will try to find if i get any links. The only link i got was on the ebay a while back.
@@ijs_diy Thank you
@@Sudeeppaona your enfield mechanic may have these lying about in the old wire heap.
Really helpful. I didn’t know this option existed. I can use it to power fog\safety lights. Thanks.
Thanks
Much needed video Ijs. You may wanna also post buying links to the charger if purchased online!👍
Thanks 😊
The charger was a local purchase for around 400/- only using it for 12v socket to power the air compressor.
Amazing Idea. As a Bike you always have an Eye on some small improvement in your Bike. If I can suggest you something. Use a smaler Fuse to protect your Headlight to go off. In India the rain is pretty heavy and your USB Charger can get a shortcut and your Headlight will not work. You can only fix it if you know where the problem is. In your case it can be the headlight itself or the USB Charger. I would use another Fuse (Smaller than 10 A (5A) for example). Pros are you always have a selective Fuse safety in your wirings that means if the USB has a fault your Headlight will run. Image going on long tour with 100 10A fuses in your Bike and the fuse brakes every two minutes and you don't have a clue what it is.
Thanks 😊
And yes additional fuse is a nice idea would look into it. I personally don't like much electrical accessories on the Motorcycle this charger i only got for its 12v socket to use my air compressor on it. For mobile i usually carry a powerbank.
How we can do this? You have any idea sir???
Right video at the right time ❤️
Thanks 😊
@@ijs_diy I'm sleeping at 4 Am since last 1 week breaking my head to explore and understand on few things I have got an imported (AliExpress) ip55/56 rated delta high 200 CFM fan, mesh grills SS mesh grills to avoid water entering the fans and procured a lot of sensitive electronic components, Tcouplers, Fuses and stuff spending 2000 rupees just to make this radiator fan working last I was just left with from where I should take the connection from and you saved my time..
Last hunt is this 20 rupees 2pin connector
@@garagewheelz someone used old re bullet tail light wiring coupler , you can find it in comments of this very video. Try with some workshops if they have any old wiring lying around. But i am sure this would be available be good auto electrical shops. male female 2 pin coupler.
Thanks for the video bro👍
Thanks 😊
Nice !!!! The same for heated grips ?
Yes it will probably work fine for heated grips.
Thanks bro !!!!!
Hi bro , I have been seeing most of your videos to DIY things in my GT650 , I am trying to install a MADDOG aux lights with a wiring kit and relay of their own.
I have a doubt , they have a one seperate wire in the wiring harness which is meant to be connected to bikes ingnition , so that the aux will turn on only when the key is on. Can I plug that cable into this socket ,Since it gets the power from battery directly and needs only this part of wire to access the ignition on status of the bike
I know it's too late for this comment 😂 but if u have any idea it will be of use to me . Thanks
Sorry brother been busy with family. And for the question i am positive that you can safely use this socket for the ignition connection for the lights. Just find the male socket and see if the connection works. Otherwise remove the big rubber cover covering the main harness sockets and access the ignition coupler. Can also use the headlight socket for this if i am not wrong.
very useful information.Pls advise upto how many watts of aux.lights it can withstand?
Thanks ❤️
Haven't tried any auxiliary lights on this , only used it for mobile charger and used air compressor with 12v socket without any issues with engine running.
Though this accessory socket is through the relay, the wire is too thin and i felt risky to fit aux lights. i am using this for mobile charger only. works only when ignition and engine cutoff is on.
the 2 pin connector salvaged from used enfield brake light connector
Yes the wire is thin and for powerful aux lights it might fall short. For aux a different harness with relay and fuse etc would be better option. For small aux lights this would work.
It's basically a wire that can handle 10 Amps and so anything within 10A should be good.. Check your bike fuse under the seat there is a dedicated 10A fuse that's handling this specific line.
Wahh RE ! that's called a home grown automaker made things just to allow customers to play around with some safety limits😉
Hi Inderjeet , first off all fantastic video brother .. I have one question in my mind .. if I want to fix the usb charger and aux light set up to accessories socket how can we do it ? .. will the socket support both usb charger and Úc light set up ??
Thanks.
It will support Usb charger and light wattage aux lights stand alone but together it might not support both at same time. For aux lights best setup is to make wiring harness with relay and take connection from ignition or direct battery as the lights normally use more power than usb charger.
@@ijs_diy totally agree !! Have bought the Cliff top 12v cigarette socket will plug it to accessory socket in headlight , and for aux will do as you suggested will relay it to the ignition through a harness .. Thank you brother 🙏
What's the name of the connector
2.8mm 2 pin connector.
Hi, thanks for the video. what kind of places can you buy that charger from ? Your mobile mount/holder looks cool too and seems rain proof, any links for that ?
Charger i bought locally from karolbag delhi for 400/- rs it has 2 usb and one 12v lighter socket.
My primary usage is 12v socket for my air compressor.
Phone mount is again purchased form local market in 2017 (took off from my older motorcycle) for 400 it is basic waterproof 6.5 inch phone mount. I fixed the base of this mount to the clamp using areldite to reinforce it.
For good quality charger u can safely go for bobo jaw grip or claw grip, go on mobile charger (amazon), resonate charger (expensive one).
Bobo is holder + charger
Hi, nice and useful video. One question I'm getting crazy to find out the connector used for direction light on Interceptor 650. No way to find them out. Do you have any info on that? Thanks
Thanks.
It is 2.8mm 2 pin connector.
Also known bas brake light connector in motorcycles and scooters in India.
Available in delhi bhagirath palace for inr 25/- (last known price)
@@ijs_diy Be patient I need to buy it but looking for a shop that is online since I live in Italy. I would appreciate if you have a shop website. Tks

Try these or otherwise look on Amazon as amazon india has these at bit higher price.
@@ijs_diy Unfortunately this is not the connector I meant. This is fully available but there is another connector (2 pos) used for instance for the direction lights, it is this one I mean.
@@gaetanolampugnani8250 sorry didn't get u correctly the first time, would look for the direction/turn indicator connector tomorrow and would share any link if i find.
If u have any reference pic then share on my mail id otherwise i will open the light and check.

Can we use 80 watt auxiliary light with that accessory port?
80 watt is on higher side. Use proper wiring harness with relay for that.
Hi Inderjeetji, I just bought clifftop mobile charger for interceptor 650. I have a doubt that this charger has only 1 black & 1red wire( your charger had 3 wires). Can this be connected to the connector which you have shown in the headlight.
Mine also have two wires only, one wire has two colors on it that's might be why you think it has three.
Two wire is good for this connector.
@@ijs_diy Thanks Inderjeetji 👍. Also thanks for a quick reply. One more thing , I want to replace the headlight bulb for interceptor 650. Pls suggest the good one except NIGHT EYE.
@@hrishikeshoulkar5526 Philips xtreme vision plus or osram night breaker.
Would not be as powerful as nighteye but way stronger than stock. Else u can get 90/100 halogen with headlight relay with h4 adaptor.
@@ijs_diy forgot to mention I need the LED one.
@@hrishikeshoulkar5526 sorry brother then the nighteye is the best I know. Many riders are using it. There is friend who tried different leds but now he is happy with nighteye.
Hello guys, that is the connector "www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quality-2-Way-2-8mm-Mini-Electrical-Connector-Yellow-Motorbike-Motorcycle-Car/142026250893?hash=item21116c9a8d:g:U~gAAOSwbMhZ1jVe" or look for 2.8mm 2 PIN Socket
Yes this is the 2.8mm two pin one. But sadly ebay deliveries are nit happening here. Few guys have sourced it locally as i did.
Share buying link if you can find any, as you have buy from local dealer, but if you find any link it would be helpful
Ok sure will share it if i find any.
Hi inderjeet, could you please explain the interceptor rear tail light and indicator wiring which wire does what there’s five wires and I wanted to upgrade with a led tail strip. Thanks
Sorry sir i don't have the bike anymore. Would try to look in the manual and see if ican figure it out.
Can I just strip both sides and use terminal connectors to connect them? Or if I'm certain, can't I just solder them?
Yes you can , but that would void the warranty.
@@ijs_diy Shoot, would using solder-less connectors prevent that? Haha
@@lechefski ha ha ha , i did solder the wire after 2 days 😂 if that what u mean.
Bro my headlight side screw on left side is so tight i coulnt open in interceptor
Strange brother there is only one screw on my Interceptor on top there is no screw on the left side. Mine is BS4.
Do check again.
@@ijs_diy bro mine November 2019 model with clear lens head light bro... it has two screws left nd right nd not on top bro.... the 😄
@@vichu650 ok try with a new or good screw drive RE has applied some amount of thread locker on crucial screws and bolts that might be making it hard. Make sure not to damage the head of the screw. Try with the screw driver Available in the tool kit or any other good quality one. Once removing the screws pull light from bottom to top as the lock is on the top part .
@@ijs_diy yes brother i applied some lube to soak nd will open it tomorrow thank u bro... ur videos are awesome for all interceptor owners....
@@vichu650 thanks 😊
Meri bike faired hai...yeh sab karne jaunga Gixxer SF pe phir toh ho gaya kaam..
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Inderjeet, this is a very nice video. Can you help me by answering 2 questions - Does the accessory socket work only when ignition is ON? What type of coupler is it, how do i know which coupler is compatible with the accessory socket?
Yes it works with ignition switch only , if ignition is off it won't power up. Coupler is 2 pin male female automotive one you need male part only as the female one is already there.
These coupler can be found in the electric connections of Motorcycles. Bullet tail light has this same coupler if u can get any old tail light you can use that.
@@ijs_diy thanks for your reply, Inderjeet. Found one on Amazon, you think this will work?

@@ijs_diy hi Inderjeet, thanks a bunch for your help! I was able to find the 2pin connector at local electrical auto store. 🙂
@@anirudhmaiya5063 nice to know.
I have 2021 interceptor 650 and those bastards at RE have put glue inside this socket.. I can't stick anything inside🥺
Must not be glue. Re check white colour electric grease hogi.
They have a habit to over apply it.
Mine was like this also i removed the Grease
Take a toothpick and try to clear it.
ok will try tomorrow..But as much as I remember I think the white thing inside the socket was quite hard
@@parnavad1794 try hair dryer if it seems hard .
Sirji one request please make videos in hindi or hinglish.
Bhai jo video chahiye bata do hindi voice over kar doonga, pahle hindi mai bana raa tha south side and india ke bahar se log English ki request jayada karte hai.
Aap batao mai translate karke banane ki koshish karoonga.
Are I am born in Germany and understand both. I preffer Hindi so I can improve my language and also learn some stuff for bikes. Specially I love to see how Desis live in India and ride bike also how they struggle it reminds me not to complain about tiny stuffs in Germany lol
I suggest English cause that's how a video could be helpful for audience across.. mostly a DIY guy would prefer English as I'm from a different part of India comfortable with videos in English 👍
Can u courier me the connector pls
Send ur address on my mail id , when i go to that market i will buy it for u then send it
Hi, I'm also looking for this connector. Can you please send me too?
@@bratin365 sure bhai but only when i go to that market and buy it probably would go there next month.
