Very nice. I like finding solutions for bikes that cost much less than what Harley wants to charge!!

For the switch, I tapped into the wire that is next to the headlight under the fairing. It was the one with the red cap. The switch doesn't pull much power at all. I then ran the wires under the tank with the main harness to where the relay is under the seat. The relay is wired to the battery. The wire for each light was routed through the lowers, (where the inner & outer wrap around the engine guards), and then up the front of the frame to the main harness, then under the tank to the relay. Hopefully this made sense. None of the wires can be seen and the only hole that I drilled were for the switch.

All I can say is they are pretty damn bright and well worth the $15 and they fit with the lowers on, unlike the HD ones. I had all of the lights on for the picture, but at night I do turn the spots off and run the headlight and these lower lights. It looks like an airplane coming at it looks like broad daylight from the drivers seat. Also, I would watch the drivers that were coming at me, and as they went by, and not one of them had light in their eyes. None of them flashed their lights at me either. Guess I got them aimed right.
