XT600E H4 headlight help?

Hi guys!

So I'm modding right now my trailtech indicator dashboard so I can fit it nicely onto the XT's wiring harness..

As the trailtech vapor computer already has a Rev and shift lights, I'm putting the Neutral, Turn signals, medium beam and high beam indicators on the dashboard.

In order to fit the medium beam I need to know if in the XT's stock headlight when one turns the high beams on if the medium beam also stays on?

Either that or I'll have to search for a way to connect one of the trailtech medium beam cable to the medium beam of the wiring harness...


Plus, how should I bypass the REV indicator light? can I just cut the cable and insulate the ends of the cables?


Quick replies are welcome! lol

Fixed!

Added a cable with a bullet connector to the green cable of the headlight assembly!
Everything soldered together, even included one extra light(the REV) just to be sure that missing that it wouldn't cut any circuits..

Now just need to solder one cable with a male bullet connector to the headlight green cable and I'm done!
Perfect!

Next step, adding lenght of cable to place the TCI in another location! Tomorrow perhaps!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
