#3893 ekonkjack (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 364 PASSING LIGHTS HOOKUP 6 Years, 5 Months ago   Hello again. I just received word from the dealer that the passing lights and mounting kit I had ordered has arrived. When I pick them up I hope that there will be clear and complete instructions. Should they be wired so that they can run with high beams or low beams or both? Is it a matter of state laws? I'm thinking if the relay is energized by a wire that is hot only when the key is on, the power to the lights can run directly from the battery with a fuse at that connection. Any suggestions would be helpful.

There is also a switch on the left driving light to turn them on and off.

They're hooked up to the low beam light in the back of the headlamp assembly. There's a switch on one of the passing lights that allows you to turn them off. When the switch is on, the passing lights are on on low beam. When you switch to high beam they go off. Hope this helps.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #3900 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:PASSING LIGHTS HOOKUP 6 Years, 5 Months ago   My R* Silverado passing lamps were wired to the running lights and the switch to turn them on/off was on the one lamp outside the windshield What a pain! Ordered Harley passing lamp rocker switch 77103-88 and with a little modification ie remove bracket /fasten housing halfs together with two 8x1/2 sm screws/sent wiring out the side instead of back/ and mounted on flat underside of left hand switch assembly below horn button with double sided 1&quot; moulding tape and removed toggle switch in lamp.. wired remote in thru hole ..Beautie.... I can turn passing lamps on/off with a stretch of my thumb with hi OR low beam and less current draw ( two 8 watt running lights instead of 55/60 watt hdlmp bulb) on wiring 16g and no relay just 10 amp in line fuse.   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #3901 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:PASSING LIGHTS HOOKUP 6 Years, 5 Months ago   Here is a pic of my passing lamp switch on th R* <br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2005/12/15 07:56   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #3902 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:PASSING LIGHTS HOOKUP 6 Years, 5 Months ago   Wiring for switch through old switch hole in left lamp housing <br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2005/12/15 08:09   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #3903 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:PASSING LIGHTS HOOKUP 6 Years, 5 Months ago   The Double sided moulding tape automotive seems to be holding well.
