2011 Road King headlight question
I noticed that when I turn my lights on with the lights on the front light bar my main headlight dims .Is there a way to stop this so all three run the same .
Also were can I find a HID set for all three front lights ?

I would HIGHLY suggest buying a Phase 7 LED headlight. I love mine, and even bought the matching set of road lights to go with it. They stick out a bit, but you can always install frenched trim rings, and who doesn't like the look of the frenched trim rings?

if the dimming happens with the motor running above idle speeds, take the time to check the battery health and charging system operation.
but first- follow the black wire back from the headlight plug and make sure that the ground is good, clean and secure.

It only dims when I turn the extra lights on the light bar .If I turn light bar lights off the main light ramps up .I thought it was suppose to do this .

Yeah, there's charging issue somewhere.
LED lights are excellent though - I have the MoCos Daymaker lights and they're excellent.

Do you have your headlight on high beam??
If I recall correctly, if the headlight is on high beam, and you turn on the auxiliary (passing) lights, the main headlight comes off high beam

OP- Are you using the toggle switch on the back of the headlight nacelle, or the switch on the handlbars to turn off the passing lamps?
