RE: high beam, passing lights
hey davered, i just installed the aux lights on my bike and they stay on all the time
as long as the toggle is switched on.
Under the left side of the gas tank where the headlight plugs in, there's a connector end
that's not connected to anything. I wired my aux lights to the toggle that comes with the
lights, from the toggle to the connector end and they stay on all the time unless turned off
from the toggle or by turning off the ignition.

Hmm... U can put the Auxiliary Lights on any bike... the Softails like the Heritage or Deluxe come with them, may peeps put them on because they are easier to see, and they make it easier to see the road at night time.
actually I am about to put them on my fatboy..

RE: high beam, passing lights
If you already have the lights and want to make the modification to keep them on all of the time, there is an easier way than pulling the tank and fishing new wires. On my 2003, I have the light on the end of the front fender. I simply cut the power input wire from the headlight to the toggle switch; removed a little section of insulation on the wire going to the front fender light; solder thetoggle switchpowerinput wire to this front fender light wire; and tape with electrical tape. This is all donewhere the wires arehidden between theupper fork tubes behind the headlight, so you never see the electrical tape.The driving lights now stay on all of the time. I even replaced the 35 watt bulbs with 55 watt bulbs from Advanced Auto for about $4 (as well as the headlight with a Silverstar). When the brights come on at night, I have the best chance possible of seeingdeer darting out from thetrees trying to kill me.
Now, I know that some may be thinking that I either blow fuses or have increased the size of my fender light fuse, but neither is the case. I ride over 500 miles a week, so have a lot of time on this modification without any problems.
