Halo wiring
So I got some halo LED headlight and passing lamps and I'd like to wire the halos to the extra accessory switch under the handlebars of my Road King. Anyone ever do this? My biggest issue is how to get that extra wire up into the passing lamp housing. There is only one small wire going to it stock and it looks about a 24 gauge maybe, very small, and so is the hole it goes through up through the signal stems. I can't even get another wire started and I'm trying to go from the passing lamp housing back down. Anyone have any tips how to get that wire through there?

So not sure what the grommet and sheathing looks like on your housings but on one of my Sportsters the grommet is welded to the sheathing that goes to the headlamp.
To get another wire to the housing would require finding the end of that sheathing to thread a wire through and not try to poke a wire in at the grommet.
On the Sportster it has a position lamp in the headlamp and I used that as the connection to a Sat Nav.

What is hooked up there? The headlight halo? Is that the wire to the accessory switch?

Headlight HALO, not wired to the accessory switch. Runs hot when ignition is turned on.

[QUOTE=sanman4ever;18829400]Yeah I spliced mine into the low beam wire of the adaptor harness that came with the lights so its on all the time. Its the passing lamp halos I want to be on without the lamps being on.
