Anyone added a light to an E-8000?

[Brianjonesphoto]

With my work schedule picking up and long days months away I’m thinking about adding a light for some night riding. I can get a quality intigrated light for a good price. Will adding a light require a firmware change? I tried to get to the light function of the setup today and the display just beeped at me. I couldn’t get into the sub-menu.

Thanks.

Try a search on E8000 lights, the guys cover Shimano lighting.

No need for firmware change. You must first enable Lights with eTube app, then you can switch the lights on/off using the display function.

If the lights are not enabled (with the eTube app), the display light function just beeps, exactly as you described.

Lights are not available to be enabled on current version of the eTube app. You need to get an older version of the app, like V3.4.3, from an app archive.
