Title: dual headlight upgrade and wiring relocation :) 56k warning
Post by: jeremy_nash on February 15, 2009, 05:51:35 PM
did a dual headlight setup.  used foglights from advance auto.  I like the way it looks, I relocated all the wire connections from behind the headlight to underneath the tank.  I soldered the low beam light to the wiring for the ignition switch.  and hooked the other light to the high beam wire from the dimmer switch.  so the low beam is always on,  and the bright comes on when the dimmer is put in the hi position.  no relays or diodes needed

Looks good,man! But you will find out real soon that those fogs don't have the "throw" that a true headlight has. You will find yourself using your highbeams alot.

I always run my brights annyways    unless I am in town    which isn't too often
