I got a pair of PIAA 1100x driving lights for my 2003 1200GT. The instructions call for wiring the switch control wire to the high beam power source. I admit I'm not low-voltage savvy, and I don't have a manual, wiring diagram for the bike. Can someone point me in the right direction? Everything else looks pretty straight forward. Thanks.

Seems the wire you're looking for should be a white wire (high-beam), perhaps bundled alongside a solid yellow wire (low-beam) and a brown one (ground) somewhere in your relay box or thereabouts.
I just wired both fog and driving lights up in my K75S and I believe that these color coded headlight wires are pretty standard throughout BMWs.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Hope this helps you out.:wave

If you Google it you'll get quite a bit free on line - what I did was to buy the Clymer manual. Useful for all sorts of maintenance issues and they have the full schematic.
I installed mine using the Eastern Beaver separate power circuit with a relay, Jim provided a lot of specific info for my bike. The separate circuit with heavier than stock wiring gives you significantly brigher PIAAs.
Usual disclaimers.
