Have a 2005 Heritage Classic that I just traded for a Dyna. So, what is with the goofy toggle switch for the passing lamps and when are the lamps useful? Should the switch be left on all the time or just for night riding? Has anyone ever here ever re-wired these lamps with a switch that is more convenient to the hand? This whole toggle switch thing has me perplexed. Brad

 

Not sure, but I think it's in case you lose voltage you could toggle it off and still get home on your battery. At least that is what I would use it for.

 

Turn em on at night lights up a lot of road but cagers flip their high beams at ya....run em during the day ya stand out more, my .02

 

If I had passing lights, on my bike, I would have them on night and day. They give the front of your bike a lot more visible profile, to cagers.

I have em on all three of my bikes but seldom use them,Ive have em pointed out into the ditches for deer and other 4 legged animals when Iam riding at night........

I wish people would adjust them that run em durring the day so they aint shinning in your face when they pass you...
Personaly I think its funny that guys/gals run them durring the day...After all there night running lights not day running lights...
But to each thier own.......

 

Hmmmmm..........must be an ole guy!!!! Hehehe!

 

Putz.......

 

Keep ours on all the time, day or night.

 

Keep mine on day and night also, more visibility.

 

Yep mine are on all the time. I get flashed my cages all the time. Don't bother me a bit, that means they seen me.
