Default Wave Headlight?

Has/is anyone running this or a similar headlight on their Harley? Experiences? Quality? Any pics mounted?

I run one on my FXD, wired in a relay so I could run both bulbs at the same time.
Its great quality, well made, looks great, just dont drop or bang it and break the glass, you cant buy the glass by itself, dont ask me how I know.
I got mine thru Demons Cycle.
Pics in my gallery.
I have two and plan running duals once I get the mounting figured out.

Default Wave Headlight wiring

I'm having problems with wiring the wave headlight to my Wide Glide. Does anyone have any input on how to set it up to run both lamps?

I started thinking that the handlebar mounted switch prolly is not rated for 10 amps, so I opted to add a relay and another 12 volt circuit.
I added a single 12 VDC 30 amp (Radio shack Part # 275-226) relay.
12VDC/30A SPST Automotive Relay - RadioShack.com
I ran another wire for a fused 12 volt circuit.
I was able to snake the added wire into the wiring harness between the light and the frame with the existing wires so it looks the same as original.
I built my circuit so the High beam fires the high beam light and turns on the relay which powers the Low Beam using the new 12 volt circuit.
When I switch to low beam the relay turns off and I only have the low beam light.
(Low and High in the schematic are the low.high beam bulbs.
Hi/Low switch is your hi beam/Low Beam switch on the handlebars.)
Heres a link to the original discussion.
