    I have a 2011 FLHTK Limited. I live in a rural area and would like to wire my spotlights to stay on with my high beam. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

    Thanks,

    Pete

    Can also try a brighter bulb in the passing lamps. Stock is an 881 at 27 watts. Try an 894 at 37.5 watts.

    You did mean FLHTK? I think the other wiring way is easier to do and get to and does not require pulling the outer fairing off. Looks like a good job through. :)

    Yes, FLHTK. I could not figure out how to get at the switch and wiring, so I took off the outer fairing. Good thing too because the dealer had not tighten all of the bolts during assembly. I wandered what that rattle was! Thanks for all the info.

    You have to pull the switch off, very easy but probably good thing you did what you did. :)
