I'm in the process of doing this to my Night Train now. Any hints as to where the High Beam wire is on a Night Train? Am I going to have to run a wire all the way up to the switch?

You don't have to run the wire to the switch, all you have to do is find the headlight wiring harness, tap the wire right there. Do you have a 12v test light? The high beam wire is easy to find, you have one wire for low, one wire for high and one for ground. I recommend to install a toggle switch if you happen to use the high beam a lot. I found the high beam switch is easy to use when I come home, flip and go.

I am not sure, I believe it goes under the gas tank, you have to check the repair manual.

It&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;runs under the gas tank, I tapped into just before the connector, and if I had it to do all over again, I would have just purchased a chrome handlebar switch from the Fat Book and wired it into a garage door clicker that would be stuffed under the seat or battery compartment.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Then just change the battery every five years.

Sorry I thought we were talking HD's garage door opener.
