I did it and can't get why they don't just come that way.
I believe some states vehicle codes say that with high beams on no auxiliary lights are allowed to also be illuminated.

Hi beam and spots during daytime. Spots are bright yellow H-3 type with upgraded bulbs and all lights are adjusted to suit me for night riding.

1 in probably 600 cars will flash me, had a few drivers complain about my bright lights and I ask them "did you see me, ?? Good that is the purpose as I need every advantage possible to be seen by drivers" . Have gone by dozens of lawmen even a notorious ***** CHP biker hater several times without issue.

Yea, but even with that kit you have to still cut and splice wires. Which does beg the question of the purpose of the kit then.

I keep the high beam (LED) on along with the passing lights (LED) during the day, yes I have the plug and play loom adapter, works great. At night I generally use the low beam with the passing lamps. Works for me. I like being seen, just might be enough to make a difference.
