Default Road King Spot Lights

Hey guys... I'm hearing that there is a way to program the spot lights in my M8 Road King to stay on with the High Beam. Help?

From the 2017 Touring Owners Manual


The auxiliary/fog lamps provide additional light to the road and surrounding environment in dark or rainy conditions. The lamps also give the motorcycle more visibility to other motorists.
FLHR, FLHRC: See Nacelle Switches: FLHR, FLHRC . The switch is on the left side of the nacelle.
Other models: See Dash Panel Switches . The switch is on the left side of the dash panel. When the lamps are on, the auxiliary/fog lamp indicator is displayed in the instruments as shown in Instruments: Models Except FLHR, FLHRC .
Domestic/Canada configurations: The auxiliary/fog lamps are configured to automatically turn off when the high beam headlamp is turned on, except as required by state/province.
Auxiliary/fog lamps can be configured to turn on or off with high beam by the dealer, based on legal requirements for each location.

ok... so it's a dealer thing... the guys here at work lead me to believe it is some that they did on their own. Thank you very much.

2014 & up had to be done by the dealer using their Digital Tech computer/device. Prior years were done with a wiring change

My FLHR came from my dealer set up with the spot lights on with both dim and bright. I'm from Manitoba.

On the Road King it's going to be a hardwired mod.

Not on 14 and up. Dealer and computer thing. They did mine free, I went inside to shop around and looked out the window my bike was setting out side, done in less then 10 minutes. I have a 14 King.

Well, that's good news for all as some have a good relationship with their dealer and some do their own work. I would prefer to have the flash but there could be legalities here in Cali.
