Harley has a plug and play harness for 13 models and older allowing aux. light

I had to have the dealership 'program' my 15 TG to allow the aux lights to burn at the same time as the high beam. Took them about 15 minutes to get it done. Makes a world of difference when riding at night. Oh yeah, forgot to say, they do it for free!

By the way, welcome to Trike Talk!!
 
I have been told by my local dealer that it is a free flash, but also been told that (in the state of Florida) it is not legal to run the driving lights and the high beams together! Maybe they just did not want to do something for a customer for free! Have not checked with any other dealers in my area.

Some states it is illegal. I don't know how I know this, but it's illegal in NJ. It's legal in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, which are the states I would normally be riding in. All I had to do was ask my dealership to do it, and they did it promptly.
 
My '16 came that way.I run all of them all the time.If it's illegal,no one has said anything.Of course I got pulled over one time for riding with a broken leg,2 actually.That was not illegal,he called it in.
 
Good Lord!

Good Lord! Why in Sam Hill would any state make this illegal?
Jeeeeeeeze......

Because its bad enough that most Yahoos blind you at night with just their brights on...Let alone every light they can hang off their front end..
Its also illegal in NJ to have more than 4 forward projecting lights..
I think of that as an Anti Yahoo law...
 
The new thing for cagers to put a 2' led strip light on front of grill. Talk about blinding.

Yeah, but if they are FACTORY fog/aux lights, they aren't set high enough to blind you anyway.

My dealer (also in Florida) said it was legal in Florida and they would do it for me the next time I bring it in for service. As for states where it is illegal, they said all you have to do is point out your "state license plate where it's legal" and they've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for that. I'd sure like to believe that, but haven't chanced it yet.
 
Quick Question

I have a 2016 Tri Glide . If the service department flashes the ECM and the aux lights come on when the brights are turned on, can I still turn them (aux) off by using the auxiliary switch when the brights are on? At the present time mine do not come on automatically. Thanks for any help.

Yes you can. There not supposed to come on automatic, just to turn off when you hit the brights [before re-flash].. and then back on when you turn off the brights.. If the auxiliary switch is left on..
