.... I've toyed with changing the whole look of my bike with those lights and some beach bars.

I put the same thing on my superglide last weak. Ran the one black wire from each lamp into a hole at the bottom of the headlight housing I drilled and spliced them into the yellow wire, so they come on only on low beam and auto turn off on high beam.

Mine cost me a hundred bucks with bulbs. Got them from someone local here on the boards. I have never put nething new on my bike. I hunt the classifieds and ebay and dennis kirk 75-90% off outlet.

took about 30 minutes to install. If I had run them on their own circuit to a new switch with a highbeam cutoff, it probably would have taken me three hours though if done right. I'd have to take the tank off, blah blah blah...

Yuma, where's the switch? Please post a pic. I've thought about additional lights but have not pulled the trigger yet. I believe I might do mine with a solid state relay and set them to run either on low beam or high beam or not at all. May end up with the switch on the console of my FXD. I have the PIAA 100/110 Watt bulb in now - blue light. I'm not sure I am happy with the clear lens.
Like the look.

Will try to post a pic soon. The switch is a push button that is mounted on the handlebar next to the high/low beam switch, not really a reach out and push position tho. Will look back for info another member had given me for a switch from cylcegadgets.com that is what you are talking about.

RE: Added Extra Lighting - Pics added
I wired up a set of the passing lamps on my Dyna 2 years ago and they do provide a lot of extra light at night and to pesky cagers who have a habit of not seeing a bike. It gives other drivers 3 points of light, not just the single headlamp. As far as wiring, a few extra minutes to wire up an Autoswitch will work the passing lamps off the stock Hi/Low beam switch and will allow you to run them on high beam also. Check out this link for some more info:

It's a little extra wiring, but not much and pretty simple to install.
Good luck.
