Correct, basically you follow the instructions in the wire harness manual (separate from the main assy manual). The wiring of it is the same as the for the roadster. I hope to be replacing it with a foot switch though. Similar to this https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/ado-d808

Cool thanks Steve. I was pretty sure but wanted to confirm that it was good enough amp wise.

Your best to run the headlights power supply, through a relay. The switch only trips the relay, using a low amperage source. Do not run the power directly to the headlights, through the toggle switch alone, or it can really heat up. Some info re doing that.

Some heavy duty headlight switches may handle the amperage draw. Also if using a factory daytime running light modem.

That's a good thing to note Bill, we are using the LED lights so there shouldn't be a problem but if using older technology then a relay is needed...

That's a good point Steve, the amperage draw should be significantly lower, with LED's. Curious as to what the amperage draw is on them?

This is how I wired my headlight dimmer switch, which I did as a floor mount (old fashioned) setup.
Wired like this, even if the dimmer switch fails, I'll still have low-beams.
