Am I the only lazy one around here? I just velcroed a key fob sized opener to the dash.

Yeah, but you don't have the "cool" factor with that one buddy! Simple electronics can be fun! And trick! Ride on brutha...

This is what I did, and it works great. My remote was not 12v so I use the battery that came with it. Two years and haven't needed to change it out yet

Now when you hit the high beam switch, it activates the relay and joins the remote switch circuit.
If you use a 5 terminals relay, just leave the 87a unused. You can also wire a momentary switch to join the relay solenoid circuit.
