<< Hello Ken and All:
    The Factory headlight switch has three settings:
All lights, front and rear off.
"Third eye" on & tail light on.
Main beams & "Third Eye" and rear lights.
    I live in the centre of a BIG city. Sometimes we get caught in traffic 
jams. It makes no sense to sit with your headlights on when you aren't moving or 
are moving at a crawl. Other times you might want to warm up the bike or wait 
for someone on the shoulder of the highway. Why drain your battery? Why do 
you think that Triumph makes such a part for the rest of their production?

Plus, it is very cool, to be able to roll up, a little late, for a group 
Triumph ride, with just the third eye on. But seriously, folks, I do find mine 
handy when installing electrical gadgets, or doing other fiddling,  in the 
garage, to be able to have the ignition on, and the lights off, and thus not overly d
eplete the battery.
In addition I can imagine, if one was having starting problems, (not that I 
ever have) to be able to crank over the starter for a long time, without 
putting any additional drain on the battery. Dave Collins, San Diego
