Could someone direct me to the fix (yeh, I know the law) that will allow high and low beams to operate without turning off the spots on a 07 SEUC, and still allow spot manual control???  I wanna see the light.

Thanks

Here's a wiring diagram on how to do it....

Thanks DooD,

I'll check it out. On the 07, the spots/passing are on its own circuit switch shared with the cruise control. The aux is still open for someother toys.  I'll open it up and see if that is the bdirection for my 07. Really appreciate it!!

Hey HD,

Does your schematic show the yellow being hot all the time, while still contolled by the existing spot switch, or are we now employing the additional use of the aux switch also?  Thanks

WHat happens when you have to get a safety inspection?

That would depend on what State you are in for the inspection. Not illegal in all states.

There is another way.  If you'd like to leave the Aux completely available for other things, the fender tip light circuit is almost unused on our bikes.  There is a connector behind the headlight that is free for it (since we don't have the fender tip lamp) and you can tie directly into it.  I spliced into the harness before it got to the Spots switch that way the switch still works, but it takes it off the headlight circuit like it is from the factory.

Also if your lookin for more light, swap the spot bulbs out for 886's (instead of the stock 881's) and change both headlight bulbs out for H9's instead of the H8 and H11.....more wattage.  I've had mine like that for better than 20K miles and zero problems with em, except I can see REALLY well at night.

I love this stuff,

Thats DooD & Fr8,

I will open up the headlamp and take a look see.  I do like the idea (both) taking it away from the headlamp, although in 25 yr I never had one go, HOWEVER, seems easier through the headlamp, am I correct?

Also, I like these light suggestions. A definite since I tend to ride at night and want to see WELL no matter what.

As far as a safety inspection, whatizit?  Really, it's funny that a safety inspector would even look for such a lame thing, since this is being done FOR SAFETY!.  Oh yeh,  No safety inspections here....yet....we control our own.

AH HAH!  Yup, never the two together...  That could be a disaster in any case, especially, if I got this right, that the spots and the lamps are on the same circuit. What genius did that I wonder.  
ANyway, before I look at the schematic, will the lead for the front fender light, if I find it, not be part of the aux switch, and also, I assume it takes it  (the spots) to another fuse circuit.  If so, no problem, will go hunt down some lamps tommorrow.  
BTW, how about the heat? any plastic gonna melt when its 100 ambient outside in traffic and the lights are on? Do I need to worry about that in addition to making sure my pants don't catch on fire from the engine heat too? Might be to much to think about all at once....

Thanks

Thanks Fr8,

This is nice.  Will be my first mods on my B/O tommorrow for sure.   Thanks again!
