hey guys, I am working in the night and i have to head home in the dark usually and theres alot of animals ( Moose) on my way home. Soo i went out and bought a Fog light or one of those kinda lights, Bolted it to the bottom of my head light and stuff, Now how can i get this to work with only my HighBeam on??? If that won't work is it possible to hook it up someway soo i could turn it on and off to a switch??? Like where does the wires go for it?? I no ones a ground and where can i hook the live up to??

like this?

you can see the switch panel  that has the 3 switches and the res valve mounted in the stock petcock location.  the actual fog lights are bolted on to the reflector mounts on the forks.  (not mounted in pic.)   in the wiring harrnes that is included there is a relay that has a hot wire that is soupposed to go to switched power. splice that into your high beam power and they will be on when the high beams are on.

here is how I had our foglights hooked up- run the Power from the bright power wire(I just tapped into the bright power from the headlight plug{female 3 prong plug}). then run it to an auxilary switch, so that you can turn it off and on when needed. then just run the neg to the negative of the battery to the switch. this allows the light to run while the bright is on, but it will shut the power to the switch off when the key is off. I don't know if this is the best way to wire it up, but it worked for me without problems.
P.S. This setup really depends on the power of the fog light you are using. you don't want to draw to much power from the headlight plug. you'll end up blowing fuses.
