The schematic is great, but it is for a touring bike with the second switch. Is there an easy way to tap full time power for a Heritage?

THANKS!

 

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.

 

Just added aux passing lamps on my Fatboy. I also purchased a pair of Ice Blue halogen 3 1/2" spots. What a HUGE difference in lighting up a dark twistie backroad at speed!!! (and the blue tinted lamps look really sweet)

 

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.

NC Pirate - Those lights really make your bike stand out. Like 'em.

 

A stock HD detachable windshield can be used with original HD passing light components.

 

Thanks Rick, that sounds like the ticket

 

woul i be able to put some on my train? Hey PIRATE How much did u spend on those lights? If I would of had those i could of probla seen that chunk of metal that bent my rim on the freeway a few months ago. Scarry ****!!!

 

almost finished my lower install (and upper cover) just need to put tire on and brake, the whole front headlamp assembly is off (heh) so i am going to put my aux lights on tomorrow, can't wait..
