Yes, on this forum there is a diagram of how to do it. on the do it yourself help forum, electrical and lighting look for the topic--how to make your passing likes stay on when high beam is on. I believe that is correct.

Actually just did mine. Cut the YELLOW from the spot switch and tie into the Orange/red tracer on the Acc button. Its been a while since Bryan has been into his but thats okay.
The directions are in the electrical section here (how to wire your spot lights)

[:-]You might want to keep in mind, that in some states (Florida for one) it is illegal to run your spots with the high beam. That is why they are wired to go off when the high beam comes on.

yeah, but i believe that a headlite modulator is a must and it only works on hi beam and want the spots to compliment that for daylite riding. i usually dont run hi at nite unless im on the road alone
