Buy the shop manual and study the diagrams. Should be able to. Some thought as to if you want to switch back and forth is warranted as this could creat complexity. Alternative is to mount some auxiliary lights. While not as visually pleasing, they easily outperform H-D components.

It's simple to do I understand, just call into the Touring section and ask again there. If your bike is Canbus I believe the dealer can simply do a computer tweek, otherwise you may need a small extra wiring harness. The experts in Touring will put you on the right track!

If the dealer can’t flash it there’s a relay kit you can buy. If you’re savvy enough you can make your own. Not hard to do.
