I have gotten a new job that requires long hours, due to this I will be riding after sundown, I am looking for the easiest way to add some light to my bike. Any suggestions?

It is easy if you buy all the wiring and parts Honda requires to use it.It is easy to get switched power from the 6P accessory connector. It's under the plastic covers on the left side (clutch lever side) of the bike.
WOW.....thanks!It is easy if you buy all the wiring and parts Honda requires to use it.
The harness that plugs into the 6P connector has 3 leads that all require either matching connectors or cutting off Honda's connectors and installing your own.
A fuse block requires no connectors, just bare ends to fit under screws.
And a fuse block gives more options than the 6P harness.
Eastern Beaver sells 6P harness adapters that are more user friendly:

This is their 6P connector with bare leads
Unsolicited advice with apologies. If you've got it apart, and are running lights, install Skene Photon Blasters. They are a little pricey but worth their weight in gold in both day and night riding.I have gotten a new job that requires long hours, due to this I will be riding after sundown, I am looking for the easiest way to add some light to my bike.

Just what I was looking for to save on cash and the long wait. Do you know the tail light connector type as well by chance?Yes, I failed to mention that you have to add the relay and fuse kit (~$10 on eBay) to enable the 6P accessory connector.
You don't need the whole Honda wiring harness. The connector is a Sumitomo HM .090 6-pin, which you should be able to find on eBay or AliExpress.
The Eastern Beaver stuff is super nice, although a bit pricey. I have bought from him in the past. Also slow shipping from Japan.
Sorry to ask for spoon-feeding. Do you know where I might get the matching 4P connector for this?Yes -- HE .050 Connectors. 2-pin for L/R turn signals (orange and light blue), 3-pin for the tail/brake.
You can get the 2-pin US shipped (USPS from NJ) from cycle-terminal.com, but he dosen't have the three pin in stock.
Maybe if you email he can get some. I'd definitely order more if they had them in.

That is very kind. But please do not do any research/spend any of your free time on my account. I was taking the easy path by asking here.No problem. Unfortunately I am not sure. That is a different type of connector than the ones I see on my 2013 700X. If I get a chance today I can do a little research on it and get back to you.
