Default Headlight Question

I have a 2014 Road King with the CVO two bulb Headlight system. Is it possible to program the Computer to allow the Low Beam to stay on when the High Beam is activated?

I am replacing the bulbs with LED so the Heat should be less. Question is would this be too much Heat for the Light Assembly to Handle.

It shouldn't be too much heat with normal halogen bulbs to run them both together and certainly hot too much with LED ones, as they use less electrical power and give off less heat. Hopefully someone can answer your programming query.

I was under the impression that the low beam stays on with the high beam on those models? Am I wrong? Also, the LED bulbs give off considerably less heat than the halogens and with both bulbs on you will not have an issue with the heat causing damage

Harley says no on 2014 both bulbs can not be programmed on at the same time.
