Default Passing Light and High Beam wiring. Help

Ok call me stupid but I have a 08 Heritage and want to do the mod to have my passing lights stay on with my High Beams.

I have the following schematic



Can someone please tell me exactly where you spliced into the Acc Wiring? Did you you does this under the tank console that the switch is mounted in?

Help

The acc wire plug is on the left side near the front of the tank under the tank. It is orange and white on my bike not orange and red, but my bike is older (2002)

No. Take the front and rear bolts out of the tank, take off the fuel line and just slide it back.

hey, dont have a Heritage, but on my dyna, pull the rubber grommet out of the neck where the headlight wires route, 3 wires from headlight, but where it plugs in to main harness there is a 4th wire (not used) that is orange with a white stripe that stays on no matter if you run high or low beam, it goes hot when the key is on.
wire colors on main harness was black, white, yellow, orange/w white stripe.

Ok so if I connect the yellow from the passing light switch to the orange acc wire I can still turn them off with the passing light switch right?

Yes, that is what you want to do. I used a quick splice.
