I have installed some driving lights on my 1150 RT and want them to come on with the high beams. The relay is in place, just waiting for juice from somewhere.
I have looked all over for a wire that's hot when highs are on. No luck.:scratch
The bike's on the lift, looking like it exploded:banghead
Can someone help?
TIA

Look for the 4 wire bundle headed to the headlight: brown (ground), white (high), yellow (low) and a color I forgot for the parking light. You want the white wire. You can tap in up front, or follow the bundle back. I think there is a connector under the tank but am on-the-road and don't have a schematic.

Thanks very much for your reply.
I traced the bundle forward from the switch and looked for a white wire, and as you said it is for high beam. It goes to a connector located just to the right of the speedometer. Tapped into it and PRESTO!
Lights, re-assembly, action.:D
Now I'll see the deer before we meet.
