Bike wiring loom in a car
If I use the original bike loom in my car, what do I do about hazard warning lamps and rear / tail lamps? Do I have to get a car loom as well and
splice the two together?

You bascially just use the Bike loom and then add the neccessary wires for the bits that don't already exist. Alot of people just extend the
rear light wire by running 7-core trailer wire to the rear.
For the hazards you just add them in either using another relay or one that can do hazards and indicators.

Don`t forget fog lamps, and a brake check circuit too, plus wipers if you wnt them and any thing else over and above a bikes minimal wiring.
some choose to buy a loom from their kit supplier......

Others buy an aftermarket loom

You may want to use the bike loom

Or just build one from scratch

Theres no right answer, you just have to weigh up the pro`s and cons against your skills and patience.
I`ve gone 2 different ways so far and it aint done yet. First I bought a loom but having looked at it decided to try using the bike loom, i`m half way
there but still not sure wether to scrap it all and wire from scratch! But i`m having fun
Hope this helps
