When I turn on the lights on my Purion 200 - 12 volts appear on these contacts from the computer, but they disappear when I turn them off. The red plug is for the rear light and the blue one is for the front light—is it the right one?
Can I connect my headlight to these contacts and will it work without problems or errors? Or do the ACID headlights have controllers and the CAN bus detects that it was the original? Does anyone know?

Not a clue about the lights ☹️
But I think it's the yellow plug that has the higher powerd output and on my bike it needs to be turned on by a dealer.
I found this out when considering powering the derailleur from the bike battery.
Also the light has a power limit that the EU has enforced.
So I'm fairly sure that you can only fit a low powered light anyway.
Happy to be educated on this if I'm wrong 🤔
