Here you go, Karl:

Option # 1:

In this way the aux lights stay on only with lowbeam(spliced to the yellow wire).


I have connected the passing lights on my FXD2003 in the same way and replaced the stock switch from the kit for the handlebar mounted aux switch kit and the chrome switch cap kit.










Option # 2:
If you want them to work with high beam, splice (6) to the highbeam wire (on my 2003FXD it's the white wire).


Option # 3:

If you want them to work independently from high/low beam:
Splice (6) to the runing lights wire (see your manual for the color, on my 2003FXD it's the blue wire) or run the "unterminated wire" (6) (= wire to low beam in Fog Lamp Schematic) in the wiring harness back to the + on the battery or the aux fuse in the fuse box.

You can operate the switch (which comes with the H-D aux lights kit) to activate the coil in the relay which will turn on or off the fog lights/aux lights.





Here's a wiring diagram showing 4 options on how to wire aux lights using a relay:



Signal current from switch (86 ==> 85) activates coil; coil activates internal relay switch (30 ==> 87)

30 = + from battery (requires mim 2.5 mm2 wire)

87 = + to lamps (requires mim 2,5 mm2 wire)

85 = ground

86 = + (using a switch to activate relay) from:
1. battery or
2. running lights or
3. low beam or
4. high beam

Can I see more pictures? What did you use to attach it to your upper fork bolt?

Shea

He didn't attach it to the upper fork triple tree ... those bolts only point outboard for the purpose of allowing the use of windshield quick detach hardware ....

That's my plan. I received my Ebay lights yesterday in the post

now i cant decide if i will powder the bar black to go with my Black apes when i eventually get them on.

Thinking a black light bar with the black apes would nicely "frame" the 3 chrome lights...

Like SURFOR said, just the 4 Kury clamps were needed to attach the Softail lightbar to the forks. The Kury bolts might be long enough for a mid-glide when used with some spacers that will slide over the bolts. The picture was of my mockup so the windshield bolts weren't cut flush yet. I run a Heritage Classic windshield because of the lightbar.

I like this idea! Any of you guys that do this on the mid-glide front end, make sure you post some how-to's.
