You want to sell one cheap?I have a bunch of the male plugs used to attach to accessories to that plug
more than likely, they designed the plug for spot lights back in the day, as the intentional use of 4-wheelers were thought of for farmers. not sure if you ever seen how they go together ?, but they are made to pull the plug out, attach two wires, then plug it back into the female part that stays on the bars.Thanks. Insight is always good.
Anyone know what Honda marketed the plug to be used for? I'm curious about the original intention, more than how it can be adapted to be used, now.
Sort of like the removable light on the Big Red? I'd always wondered if they were going for something along that line, and never developed it.more than likely, they designed the plug for spot lights back in the day, as the intentional use of 4-wheelers were thought of for farmers. not sure if you ever seen how they go together ?, but they are made to pull the plug out, attach two wires, then plug it back into the female part that stays on the bars.Thanks.

the atc 250 big red had a removable headlight if I remember right ?, so did the trx250's back then, you could use them as a spot light. but the trx300's did not have removable headlights, so they designed this outlet to plug a spot light in to them. Honda did offer spot light kits back then, they are very rare to find today ?!.Sort of like the removable light on the Big Red?

By the way- the first ATV (ATC, to be correct) that I ever drove was a Big Red, and I was never the same afterwards! I immediately fell in love with ATV's in general, and especially the Red. The family of my best friend had one on their dairy farm, as well as a Kawasaki 3 wheeler. Nobody wanted to ride it, but the Honda... that had a line.
That's the kind of info I was digging for.

Unless you plan to routinely disconnect them, I don't see any advantage to using that power port, and possible disadvantages.I am considering adding on my '93 300 TRX a pair of Denali DM led lamps that are stated to draw 10 watts and less than 1 amp for the pair of them. I was considering using the auxiliary power outlet. But after reading the comments above perhaps I should wire them independently right back to the battery.
Anyone have any thoughts on this ?
My old machine is awesome and I don't wish to f it up.
Thanks
Hi: Find the Pink wire on the Ignition switch and wire a switch there to operate the lights you are adding -- that way they will turn off with the key switch so you can't leave them on by accident, which kill your battery.I am considering adding on my '93 300 TRX a pair of Denali DM led lamps that are stated to draw 10 watts and less than 1 amp for the pair of them.

Good job, the lamps look like they've always been there, nice choiceOk I did it works great! Wired the light circuit to the battery and the control circuit to the accessory plug. The control circuit is now powered when I switch on main power (key switch)
Added a pic of my new lights mounted in the optional OEM working light stay
