Custom spotlight question?
I got the spots off a springer and ordered a lightbar to put them on that would fit my Fatboy. The thing is the lightbar is supposed to be used with FLH housing kit, I'm not paying 300 or more for the housing kit, I'm going to ridgid mount the light bar to my windshield frame. I've got that part figured out. My question is how should I wire up the lights. The spots have the one wire(gray/black line) coming out of each and on the inside of each housing there is another wire that appears to be grounded to the inside. I have a toggle switch that I want to use that has two terminal connections. I also have an assortment of connectors and I got an inline fuse in case I need it. The way I was going to wire it was to use a 3 terminal toggle and wire like this = main power from the battery with inline fuse to 1st terminal on toggle, join the two wires from the spots and connect them to 2nd terminal on toggle, then run my ground to the 3rd terminal on toggle. Would that work? The toggle I have now only has 2 wire terminals on it. It is there a way to use this toggle or do I need to buy a 3 terminal toggle? Or just scrap my whole wiring idea and go another way? I want the spots to work with high beams on. Thanks for the help.

got it done!
Got it done!! wasnt that bad at all. I mounted the spotlights bracket to my windshield frame and just wired the lights to one terminal and power to other terminal on the toggle. Drilled a hole for the toggle and mounted that. Oh yeah, 70$ for the lights and lightbar off the springer, 50$ for new lightbar and 10$ for parts. Grand total 130 bucks and 3hrs. SCORE!!!
