Damn. Wish I woulda known that at the time since I never intend on putting the base headlights back on anyway. Especially since I sold them. That would definitely make putting things back together a breeze.
So based on this I installed the 1299s headlight on my 959 and had to cut the cover meter for the led heat sinks to protrude
I think I'm going order the 1299s cover meter part number 4601D171A because this is designed to fit the led heat sinks.
When I turn on the ignition the headlight make a little buzzing noise is this normal
Anyone else have this issue

I have a 1299S LED headlight & the stock Lithium battery from my 959 on the bench.
The 1299S LED headlight has the stock wiring harness with a plug on the end.
Before I go through the hassle of installing this light, I would like to test the DRL, high beam, and low beam.
Can someone please tell me how to bench test my 1299S LED headlight?
Thanks

Do you have the wiring diagram?
Regrettably, I do not have a wiring diagram for a 1299S, which is why I posted this thread.
Can you help?
Thanks

Diagrams are available in the back of owners manuals, Ducati has digital versions on their site.
I tried, but Ducatis website didn't have the one I need: 2015 Panigale 1299S
I could only find Owners Manuals for 2020 Panigales
Can you suggest anyplace else I should look?
Thanks
So, I found the wiring diagram for a 2015 Panigale 1299S here:
https://www.manualowl.com/am/Ducati/2015-Superbike 1299 Panigale S/Manual/10271?page=333#manual
You can zoom in to item #65, which is the headlight. You then find the following colored wires that correspond to the LED headlights function:
V key +12: W (white)
GND: Bk (black)
Hi beam: Y/Gr (yellow/gray)
Low Beam: Y/W (yellow/white)
Pilot Light: Y (yellow)
Unfortunately, the 1299S LED headlight I have in my hand, of which I am reasonably confident is from a 2015 bike (p/n 52010341B, date of mfg. 13/05/15) does not have the same colored wires as shown in the diagram above. Instead, I have the following solid colored wires:
Red
Black
Green
Yellow
Blue
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks

Did you pick up the 1299s LED headlight used or did you buy it brand new. If you dont mind me asking what did you pay for it? Do you happen to know if the 1299s LED headlight is a direct swap out if I wanted to remove my base headlight out of my 1299? I have LED bulbs in there and they are nice but the 1299s unit is way nicer

Hi beam - Yellow/Gray to Yellow (headlight)
Low beam - Yellow/White to Green (headlight)
+12v - White to Red (headlight)
Pilot light - Yellow Blue (headlight)
-12v - Black to Black (headlight)
Use a Sumitomo HM-6p plug instead of butchering the headlight plug
You can cut off the relays and direct wire using the above plug.
or be really gangsta and add 2x diodes (or rewire relays if you must) so you can have low beam on during high beam.

Outstanding, Sir. Thank you, so much.
Before I disassemble my 959, I would like to bench test this 1299S LED headlight, with the bikes battery removed and on the bench.
To do so, I will use temporary jumper wires (leaving the headlight plug intact) from the LED headlight's plug going to the battery.
I assume it will look something like this:
Red: Battery (+)
Black: Battery (-)
I imagine I will then connect the remaining Blue, Yellow, and Green wires to the battery to test their individual functions (connecting them individually, one at a time).
If the above is correct, do I connect the Blue, Yellow, or Green wires to the positive (+) or negative (-) battery terminal to get them to illuminate?

I bench tested mine via the bike.
The signal cables (blue/yellow/green/ from the left hand switch go via the Dash panel to the light. the hand switch is feed 5v.
I havnt confirmed that the output to the headlight is 5v or 12v
In theory you are correct, but as i havnt myself confirm signal voltage, its your risk...

That's what I'm afraid of. It would be a tragedy to fry a perfectly good (read: expensive) LED headlight on the bench.
Conversely, I don't want to disassemble the entire front of my 959, start cutting/stripping wires, only to then find that I have non-working 1299S LED light.
Do you agree with the wiring strategy in my above post? Temporarily touching the Blue, Yellow, or Green wires to the positive (+), not negative (-) battery terminal?
How can I now find out if the LED wants to see 5V or 12V?
Thanks again for getting me this far.

somehow you need to measure the voltage coming out of the switch to the relay on the bike.
put 12v on a 5v circuit will more than likely release the magic smoke on your expensive headlight.
Also did you get the air conveyor for the headlight?
Regrettably, the bike is in storage for the winter, so I can only bench test the LED headlight.
Is the air conveyor aka 'cover/meter', p/n 4601D4171A (item #8, as shown in the link below)?
https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/d...-HEAD-LIGHT-AND-INSTRUMENT-PANEL/107/30/0/107
Regarding testing with 5V, I have a Variac, which dials Voltage up & down from 0-120V, but that's for AC current only.
If I'm unable to confidently verify if the LED headlight wants to see 5V or 12V, can you suggest an appropriate 5V power source I can use for this test?
Thanks

its part #10 in that picture. they are different between the LED and Non LED headlight.
get a 5v power supply charger or the like from a electronic store. Or a adjustable DC power supply.
