I don't know the newer Triumphs. To have both lights on in the model 2000
you need only 2 simple automotive relays and you have to change the glass of
the left headlight which you can get from Hella or Bosch for a few Euros.
I'm sorry but I don't know if Triumph has changed something in the wiring of
the newer models.

In most of the EU countries you have to have the low beam on during biking -
it is not necessary to have an electronic switch for daylight beam.
