Default '98 Springer Softail passing lamps wiring

Ran across passing lamps with bracket and switch for the '98 FXSTS. I believe the kit is 68248-98, but I bought it from the second owner. Being a wiring retard, I'm hoping someone has the paperwork that comes with the kit, you know, "Installation for Dummies". Everything is bolted up. Anyone?

Not sure how it works on your springer but on my heritage I found a constant hot wire on my ignition switch (wire only hot when switch is on) and wired it to the toggle switch that operates the passing lamps.
That way the passing lamps can work when the high beam is on.

I've got one wire coming from each lamp (gray/black), and two coming from the switch. That's it.

That's the one I was looking for. I have the wiring in my FSM.
This place is a great resource.
Thanks
