I'll venture to say they do.....but ALWAYS probe to be sure no matter what the year or version and no matter what the factory service manual sez......Believe me, you don't want to fry the electrical harness....If you don't own even acheap VOM, then get one before you attempt ANYTHING electrical on your bike or car/truck..

Electricty is Pure Magic and it will bite you.

I first saw that diagram here in the lighting forum. I wish I had read the link that's posted on this thread. I, too, noticed the lights staying on with the ignition in the accessory position, necessitating shutting off the rocker switch for the passing lamps. I would have used the other suggestion of splicing it into the feed wire to the high/low switch, so it would automatically shut off with the ignition switch in the accessory postion.
