FWIW: The wires of the various fairing cap switches are cut to different lengths; the ones that HD mounts to the left of the ignition switch being longer than those HD installs to the right. Space for wires tends to become limited as switches are added and I found that I had to relocate the spot switch to the left because when I added cruise the cruise wires are to short if the switch is mounted to the left of the ignition switch.

Also, when I installed the passing lamp brackets, using WD-40 with tube spray attachment allowed me to squirt some into the passages in the brackets and on the conduitwhich made passing the wiring conduit carrying the turn signal/passing lamp wires through it an easier task.

 

 

If you look at the Parts catalog, you'll see the switch for the lights is labeled "spot". It goes in the fairing cap in the far left postition. You'll also need the connector to for the switch. If you check the wiring schematic in the Service Manual, you'll see there a connector for you to plug the lights into.

 

The bracket under the inner fairing cap can be removed with two screws from the underside, you can remove any single switch 'blank' while leaving the other intact.
If you don't feel like removing the inner fairing cap you can actually only remove one of the side screws holding it in place and slightly bend it enough for you to get a screwdriver in there and remove the switch bracket via the removal of two screws, a little bit of a pain in the @ss but very do-able. I've done it twice now with no problems, once during the passing lamp install and another time to add a push switch for my garage door opener.

Sure glad someone got to it before I could post the info, I did the passing lamps and cruise control, if you look at the parts
you'll see the switch replaces the dummy plug... good going fellas, was worried all day some one was goning to take a knife to a Harley!!

Great info Akitakoi! probabaly showed that it's not an easy task... but if you follow directions, it's not that bad...

 

Thanks for the help. Got the cap off and it was clear what I had to do, two screws and remove the dummy plug. Thanks for the help Doc

 

Can't you just use the aux switch. it's not doing anything. The only problem might be that the lights stay on while headlighs are on bright. I see that as a plus.

 

I installed the switch and tied the two gray wires from the passing lamps together then to the gray switch wire, yellow switch wire two keyed 12v at headlight harness and black wire from switch to ground. Now I can keep the highs on and the passing lamps on at the same time. Doc

 

Same basic setup as the Cop Bikes have with the Pursuit Lamps on with the Hi Beams

Good Work

 

Dionne, where do you find a push swicth for you garage door opener? I'm looking to do the same.
