Default Unknown brand Halo Daymaker headlight for 2012 Ultra Classic

I recently purchased at unknown brand daymaker headlight with blue halo. No wiring instruction came with it. Has anyone wired these up before? I played with it a little & got it to work, but when I change to bright light, the spotlights go out. Is this suppose to happen? Also, what is the proper way to connect the wires.

To answer your question, ..... no, never.

But, I think you need to clarify.

What do you mean by spotlights ? Do you mean the auxiliary lamps?

Did it do this before you installed your no-name LED headlight?

Does the bike have the Independent Control Auxiliary Lamp Wire Harness, (HD part #69200441) installed??

Yes, I mean the auxiliary lamps. And no, the factory auxiliary lights stayed on when the light was turned on bright. And no, I don't have the Independent Control Auxiliary Lamp Wire Harness. The headlight came with a plug-n-play harness adapter.

Well, if you are sure you do not have that HD Harness installed, then someone did a hack to your wiring to have those lights stay on with the high-beams.

(something like as is found in this thread:

It might help for someone to respond if you include at least a few pictures of the wires from that LED.
