Anyone out there put a spotlight on their bike and if so did you wire it into your hi-beam cct or put a relay and remote switch in?   Thinking of putting a spotty on as the road out to my place from the highway is roo territory at night.

Had them on my last BMW, put the relay under the seat, use a fused power off the battery & wire up just like a set on a car, I'm sure there would be plenty of factory options out there, picked up the high beam wire at the back of the headlight & yes I believe ya need a switch to be legal.

I had my fog lights on my Heritage changed so they work on high beam only and also through a toggle switch if I don't want them on.They are putting out 100 watts each and compliments the 100 watt High beam.

Thanks for the replies forum members, I should have realised they have to be the same as any vehicle, ie wired through hi-beam, I assume the hi-lo beam switch's on heritages ect  that come standard with spotties are the same as any other Harley with just a headlight?, would hope my switch on my Streetbob can handle the extra current from a spotlight as well as the headlight. Yeah and what's the go with the yanks  when they switch on the high beam the spotlights switch off??

Thats what happens on my RKC......never could work that one out......High beam to me means the works but they switch off....go figure..

Heya DLUX..thanx for the thoughts mate.....yteh i cant work it out either...to me if i switch on the high beams it should be the spotties as well.....dont like this set up but im a techie so ill work it out...
