Default Question about wiring lights

Can anyone provide detailed information regarding how to wire up auxiliary lights so they remain on with my high lights? Thank you very much.

Thanks. I have searched and read many posts from people reporting the wired their auxiliary lights to stay on with their high lights, but, I have not seen anyone post instructions on how to do that. It's the instructions on how to do it that I need.

It's always helpful to post the year and model of your bike. Also, Harley makes a wiring harness specifically for what you want.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a 2015 Slim and I ordered the lighting kit (the bar that allows 2 auxiliary lights next to your headlight) from Harley. I was under the impression that the standard connection has the auxiliary lights on with your low beam and switching to high beams turns the auxiliary lights off. I am seeking instructions on altering the wiring so the lights stay on when the headlight is on high beam.

Bone Doc is correct. Check with HD, they make a harness to do just what you want to do. I don't know if it fits all late model bikes but the parts guy 'should' be able to tell you.

Yup, go you your nearest dealership and ask for the harness that does this. Easy installation.

Hey Bone Doc, any idea on part # for wiring harness? I was at dealer today and they looked at me sideways like I was crazy. They searched through their parts book and found nothing.
