Hello and sorry if this question has been answered previously as I did not see anything when I searched for it. I have a Pioneer 520 with the Honda light bar and wiring harness and switch hooked up already. My question is it has 2 connectors and I wanted to hook up a second Light bar without having to buy the Honda branded one. Would the current set up support a second light bar attached to it? And I have tried finding a wiring harness with the same connecter as the Honda one so hook up an aftermarket Light bar with no luck. The original light bar and switch were installed by Honda. So my questions would be:
1. Can I add a second light bar to the current switch and set up without overloading anything?
2. If so any recommendations on the cable to run for the new light bar with the current connector without having to buy the $300+ Honda light bar and cable?
3. Would it just be easier to set up the second light bar with new separate wiring harness and switch?

I'm not familiar with that harness. Does the switch control both of those connections or is one of them just a power source?
The switch controls both of them. The description on the honda website says light bar/auxiliary lights and that the one harness would do both auxiliary lights. Just not sure if it is too much for a second light bar. All the aftermarket ones have different connections as well. Ive attached a picture of how it looks on the SxS currently.

You should just be able to snip off that connector and tie into the wires then. No idea on the color code though and Honda sometimes does some weird crap where they use the ground as the switch wire. I'd just hook a small one up and make sure it works before installing.

Lol fair enough. Got it in 2021 to pave the driveway and hit up the local lake. Mostly a pavement princess unfortunately 😢. Working on getting the extra lights put on and a new trailer to get some off pavement use.
