The accessory switch is found on the baggers. It's the second switch that is left blank with nothing attached.
All you are doing with this modification is removing the feed from the low beam circuit and supplying 12V to the lamp switch at all times with key on.

Thanks for the tip,it will help on the dark nights when we do our mountain runs.Sometimes you don,t make it to your next destination as early as you think you will and it gets real dark up there.

Re: Passing Lamps ON Wiith High Beam

When I bought my 02 Heritage from a dealer used, one of the things the salesman said during the pre-sale walk around was that if I wanted, I could bypass the switch and run the passing lamps all the time. Now, I am probably the least likely to attempt an electrical problem let alone alter something but I'd really like to do this. Since I already have a loose connection somewhere for my high/low beam and my low is intermittent at best, while I am fixing that, I may just try this.....I see a new hairdo in my future!!
