Smile white wire poll

It's an old debate but I have never seen a vote on this. I fall on the side that its for the light. Other fall on the side that its for the kill.

It works OK for a low draw light.

It works best as a kill, and despite what people repeat it's harmless to use the white wire for a kill switch.

I agree with the low-draw light answer, but the Chinese COULD have put it there just to mess with us.

the way my manual says and the color of the wires the white is for the kill switch,sure i could hook up a light to it too but the my manual doesnt say it.but anyway its not much power for lights.i wouldnt want to be roadkill.
i prefer a small 18v rechargable battery$18 and a couple of 12v car lights in series$10.
quick 1hr charger$20
the web sites that say to use the blue wire are the ones that sell engine kits with diffrent color wires that match it like that.

They dim a little at idle but cruising down the road they don't flicker a bit..................

The power wire for the light goes to the white wire

Ground for the light to frame

I use a atv kill switch so the lead for the switch goes to the white wire

then the switch has a ground that goes to the frame

When I want to shut the motor off with light on or off I just hit my kill switch..... simple and easy
