Ok,,here's one for ya,,,,,just bought an 08 ultra classic. I want to change the driving lights from a flood type beam to a spot beam ,,,,and,,,I want to be able to run them with the headlight in either the low or high beam position.right now they only operate in the low beam position. is there an easy hook up?? and who has the best spots?? the reason for this is,,we have a lot of deer in our area,,,the spots tend to make them stand out better.
I'll leave the "best spots" question to someone else.
remove your auxillary and spot switch. cut the yellow wire on the spot switch and wire the switch side of that yellow wire to the red/orange wire on the auxillary switch
all done and your spots are still on/off controlled by the spot switch...

Here is a diagram of the wiring change to have your passing lamps work on either high beam or low beam. Your passing lamps will still turn on and off with the original switch, just better because they'll work no matter where the HL switch is.
As far as the best spots, look at Wagner at Napa, or a similar store, Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, or better yet, look at a lamp with the replaceable bulb option.
