Default Dyna Passing Lamps

How many Dyna riders have added the HD passing lamp kits to their bikes? I picked up a set and the initial set up is pretty straightforward, what I'd like to know is if anyone bypassed the supplied wiring harness, relay and handlebar switch and successfully wired them directly to the headlamp circuit w/o overloading it? If anyone used the supplied wiring harness, is there any convenient place to mount the switch except by the clutch clamp?

I've already looked through the DIY section on the forum, which is helpful, but the wiring alternatives seem to be based on a Road King or Ultra that already have the passing lamps installed on an accessory switch, not the add-on lights like on the Dynas.

Any help would be appreciated.

I added driving lights from the J P catalog from the late 30's to the 50's. They have an on off switch, and i wired them to both hi and low beams. I mounted them to signal relocation brackets since they are pretty light, and trimmed my windshield around them. Best part is they look real good and I did them for under $50.

Fox,
Do you have any pictures of your bike with the lights added. Sounds like a pretty cool setup.

I'm trying to learn how to post pics. I'll get my son over here to do it for me. It's a good setup. Looks very original.
