auxiliary lights

I recently added some auxiliary light to my 2020 Street Glide Special but noticed they don't work when I switch to high beam, does anyone know or have a fix for this?

I don't have a fix as it doesn't bother me, I just replied to tell you it's not something you did wrong.

Yes, I found out once you switch to high beams they turn off automatically by design but was wondering if anyone has a fix. My sight ain’t what it used to be so the more light the better.

Other than taking the bike to a dealer and have them do it, I know of no other fixes.

Just like on regular autos, when you have high beams on the fog lights turn off. I'm assuming they just turn them off to reduce power draw and leave it to the high beam for greater punch down the road.

But there has to be a way to jump power to keep them on when the high beam is activated. I know there are little modules you can buy to have "6-high" mods for GM trucks that keep the fog lights on with your high beams. A few guys have figured out what wires to jump to make it happen, somebody more smart than me can look at the wire diagram and figure it out. I love my "6- high mod" on my truck it does help a lot with overall light on the road when driving at 3am to go hunting in the middle of BFE.

Like GalvTexGuy stated , you can take it to your nearest dealer and have them reprogram it , should only take 5 min .

Hopefully your not charged $50 / min for their service . .

To further clarify once they connect their computer it's an option on the bike's menu. All they have to do is put a check in a box for the option of having them stay on when the high beams are activated. The best option would be to have them do this at the same time the bike is in for other work and are already connecting up the Digital Tech for that.
