Default Harley LED

Just bought a '11 FLHTK, had the dealer install the LED before I picked it up. I bought it from Harley Davidson of Greenville H-DOG.com for $450, they waived the install and taxes. Pic attached, link below.

HD LED looks good and really lights up the night, if you have auxiliary lights you need them with head light, LED makes the none LED look yellow in comparison

Im a little disappointed for the first time in my favorite HD Shop...

last week i paid 524 for my new LED HD headlight. i was told then it would take a little over a week to come in. i called today and discovered it was on back order until the middle of march.

if i had known that when i ordered it, i could have ordered it off eBay for the same price with no wait. i asked them to cancel my order so i could get one off ebay. i was told i could only have store credit, they wouldn't credit my card the funds.

i was really disappointed. i have been going to this shop for three years and have stayed loyal to them. i know all the guys and gals by name and they all know me. this was a let down and now i have to wait nearly an month to get my new LED Headlight.

FWIW, a few weeks ago I was also told by my dealer that the LEDs were on back order for two weeks and that may get extended, then a couple of days later they said that they have them in, have them installed and like them very much. I rewired my passing lamps stay on when headlight is on bright. One thing I like besides their brightness, the lights have a chromy appearance that compliments the front chrome on the bike, gets a lot of positive attention (until I tell them what they cost).

What is the logic behind the small lights turning off when the headlights are on bright? What did you do to wire them to stay on?

Thanks for the help. I would like to find the way to do this without cutting/splicing wires. Crimp connectors are OK out of the weather. I've read where you can move a wire in the terminal block but the instructions weren't clear.
