    Givi sot lights

    I have a set of Givi spotlights fitted and one of them isn’t working. Got them checked and was told that the unit is knackered ( not the words he used) can these be replaced singularly or need to buy the whole kit again.
    Thanks for any information 🥃

    Sure it’s not just the bulb, assuming you have the halogen ones not the LED.
    I had a set on my first CT and had to replace the bulbs a couple of times.

    Not familiar with the Givis.  Denalis have a relay.   I called Denali when I had an issue ( super nice and helpful people) on my wife's CTX.  They told me that only two things can really go wrong absent an impact; the relay or the LEDs themselves.  Can you trade out the relay on the Givis?  They are only 6 bucks over here.

    Can you swap them over?
    It would tell you if this is spot light itself, or harness.
    Givi set is quite easy - relay, ON/OFF switch and 12 VDC cable.
    I'm using heavily modified Givi harness at my CT, and rather use ON/OFF switch provided by Givi, installed one from Africa Twin, which fits perfectly into the slot next to traction control switch.

    Thanks for your reply’s. I took the light apart replaced the bulb and cleaned all the terminals. Now I have a pair of working lights, the bulb didn’t look as if had blown And the connector was a little loose.
