RE: [ST] Re: UK headlight switch assembly

["Strizver, Chris L" <chris.l.strizver@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been wondering about the UK switch assembly. I want to eventually
install the PIA lights. Instead of installing an ugly toggle switch, I want
to get the UK assembly and use the additional funtionality to control the
PIA's. I haven't looked at a schematic yet, but here's what I'm thinking:

Remove the ability to turn the headlight's off. Instead, the "off" switch
position will turn on the PIA's and leave the headlights on. The normal "on"
positon will turn the PIA's off and still leave the headlights on.

Can anyone look at a schematic for me and tell me if I'm chasing windmills?

Thanks,

Chris "Snow-Dawg" Strizver

Neil,

Forgive my ignorance if this has been covered before.  What is
the story on the UK H/L switch?  Does it provide additional
functions other than the ability to manually control the lights?
Or is the modified switch you describe used to control the heated
grips?
