RE: Custom Auxillary Lighting Kit installation. Any tips?
i want to install the HD fog lamps the way that you wired the auxillay lighting, by using the console light switch for the fog lamps instead of auxillay lights.
I was dreading this project in the beginning and certainly approached it with reservations but it was a very easymod and many thanks to the replies/assistance.
I took a hacksaw and cut a 3/8" groove out of a 9/16 socket and then took a file and smoothed the burrs. Worked like a charm. Again, thanks for this tip as well or I may NEVER have figured this one out.[&:]

Is this a hard install? I am thinking of making this my next mod and do not want to be over my head.
A StreetGlide will be a little more involved. My wiring harness on my Ultra already had a plug for both left and right aux.lights and turn signalsunder my fairing where the previouslight bar w/aux. lights and turn signals plugged into so it was only a matter of putting the new light kit together and bolting it up, short of the minimal splicing I did. Still an easy mod either way and one well worth it in the aesthics IMO.
I would venture to say that SG owners would have to take the ignition lower fairing cap off and run awire to the Aux. switch there if I'm not mistaken.
RE: Custom Auxillary Lighting Kit installation. Any tips?
The SG kit comes with a "Spot" lamp switch that is installed in the fairing cap.
ftlee: Next time you are at the dealer, ask the parts guy to print out the installation instructions for the SG kit and take a look at the directions and parts--it's a very doable DIY project.
Ftlee20723 , It's a pretty straight forward install, All the tips above are very noteworthy for sure. If I might add $.02, Make sure you to also note that your Hi-Beam switch is off too, or else you'll be sitting there (like me) a bit troubleshooting more then neccesary.
