Default High beams and passing lights

Is there any relatively easy way on a '14 Heritage to have both passing lights and high beam on at the same time? I realize that in some states it is not legal to do this, but it is also obvious with both on the bike will be more visible.

Maybe someone can turn up a diagram, or confirm what I'm thinking...

I looked into doing this on my Road King a while back, and never got around to it. If I remember correctly, it was just a simple deal of cutting the hot wire to the passing lights from the low beams and splicing it into a constant hot. You can leave the switch in line, so you can turn them off if you need/want to...

Harley makes an adaptor that will do it. I put one on my bike a while back. I think it cost around 30 dollars or so and was pretty easy to put on from what i recall

Just had the wiring kit added to my Heritage. Works great.

The HD cable will get the job done, but for those that want to do the wiring modification themselves, here is a link to the wiring diagram:

Thanks for posting this, but correct me if I am wrong...this solution will always have the passing lights on with high beams, while the harley harness will give you the option of either way?

Not true. The passing lamps are still controlled by the Passing lamp switch, so you control whether they are on of off with the switch.

Or, do a goggle search. Plenty of options.
