Hi Thomas,

Recently I had the switch installed so my second headlight (of the ST =
;)) burns all the time.
I noticed that when I stopped there was a kind of condensation on that =
light.
After a while it disappeared but came back after every ride.
Two weeks later the problem has appartently solved itself.
I also read in the Dutch Torque issue that when you have your second =
headlight converted with the switch you also have to readjust the inner =
reflectors because it is factory set for only head light. I'll have to =
ask my dealer about it.
