Water proof power plug connected directly to the battery.  Includes adapters for USB, cigarette and SAE for battery tender.

Careful the USB is a 5 v outlet power drain all the time. Will run your battery down if left sitting to long. If you keep it on bat tender should be no problem. I have one and pull the fuse when not using it. Will rewire through switch when
I get to it. Drained my batt in 5 days wouldn't start.

Yep, I had this happen on my old valk.  Battery drained down so much the lights barely came on.  Learned my lesson there.  Next time it goes on a switched power wire.

The wires for the fog lights are right there.  Hook it to that.

Of course, but you don't need that expensive usb adapter.  Go to eBay, and buy one there.  It will only be @ $4, and you will probably be able to get the same one.
