Default Wiring Help

I want to wire a light bar into the high beams via a switch and another set of fog lights into my low beams via another switch. I know that I need to do this through a relay but am not sure the procedure. Any body out there with a wiring diagram or illustration that will help?

Thanks in advance...

There is a guide here. If you buy a relay you should get a simple wiring diagram with it.

The most logical place to wire off hi or low beams specifically would be inside the headlight shell or inside the fairing on a bagger. For Hi beam input, tap the white wire, for low beam input, tap the yellow wire, for ground you can tap the black wire going to the headlight or take a chasis ground where ever it's convenient. Those taps would go to the switch side, main input should come directly off the battery, with a fuse in line.

Harley sells a light bar kit for street glides, that is a plug and play, complete with wiring diagram and switch that goes on the dash, you have to remove the ignition switch to get the dash panel off. It feeds off low beam circuit, no relay required. Harley also sells lamp kits that install on the engine guard complete with diagram. If you want that one to feed off the hi beam circuit, simply tap the feed wire to the white wire going to the headlamp inside the fairing. That kit comes with a handlebar switch that mounts on the left bar.
