RE: Aux Lighting - Streetglide
Great write up, Coolnite. I had three friends over last night, all working on their bikes as well. When it came time to test the light set up, we had already reached the point of too many beers. There we were, me working the little switch, one guy holding the fairing to make sure the headlight worked, and one guy holding each of the light brackets. Teamwork, I tell ya!!!! It was a beautiful thing!!! The damned auxiliary lights wouldn't work. Well, we plugged and replugged, and fetched more beer, but the problem still wouldn't fix itself. Finally, someone (three of the guys are claiming they did it first) mentioned the word "ground". Something popped inside the last two sober braincells in my head and I realized that 1) the sealed lights ground to the light body, and 2) the light body grounded to the bracket, and 3) that the bracket didn't ground very well through a 40 year old, intoxicated fat guy so we had better hook the bracket up to the bike. After that, everything worked fine. Thanks again, man.

RE: Aux Lighting - Streetglide
I just had these installed by the dealer and would like to do the high beam mod (Aux lights stay on). \\;
There is a kit that can be purchased to do this. \\;
I am all thumbs when it comes to anything electrical. \\; Does anyone know of a link that shows detailed pics for each step. \\; Dealer would not do the mod for me.
Thanks in advance.

Searched in the DIY could not find anything. \\;\\\\\\; Anyway, do I read this right. \\;\\\\\\; All I have to do is cut the yellow wire on the "spot" switch and connect it to the orange/red wire on the "Acc" switch. \\;\\\\\\; These two switches are aprox 6 inches from each other. \\;\\\\\\; How easy is to do this. \\;\\\\\\; As I said I got no electrical exp at all.

Have any of you, that installed the HD kit, find that you can not trust the wire locations? The wires from my turn signals did not match the instructions. I matched the wire color to the matting connector, and the gray/black from the auxiliary lamp in the last location which also had a gray/black wire.
I struggled with the pin removal and the gray/black I had to solder pin on...who has the crazy crimp tool. My fingers crossed that it all works properly. I did modify the auxiliary switch to bypass the hi-beam issue.
