On my 04 FB there was a yellow wire behind the headlight that already had a plug on it. Just plugged it in and was done.

When I changed my bulb housing to the newer style, I don't remember seeing any extra wire in there......could be wrong though.
Shouldn't be too hard.

Same thing on my '08 fatboy there was a yellow wire inside the headlight that I plugged into and installed the switch. They turn off when you hit the bright lights.

I'm installing these as well this weekend and have a question. I got it used, so it didn't come with any hardware and wanted to know the length of the spacers that go on the top bolt. Thanks.
