Default Aux lights question

I want to put some auxiliary lighting on my 2020 street glide. Do i have to buy a switch kit that turns them on and off from Harley, or is there someone else who make a comparable one or works even better that will go into the blank switches. I may go with a bracket set from Amazone and Eagle lights.

Just connect them to the low beam head light wire.
If they're LED you can connect them to the running light wire for the front turn signal light.

Better try to find the OEM dash switch base with aux light button. What you are looking for is the part number 69200172. Its $80 if order online on H-D. You might try look for used on ebay. Most likely your ride already has the aux light activated so if you install the OEM switch and connect you lights to the aux light circuit in the front turn signal harness you will have them working with low beam. To make them work both on low and high beam you will need your BCM to be set up with dealer or aftermarket diag tool.

I have a set of aux lights on my Fat Boy Lo, the switch enable me to turn them on and off. Can't i do that for these?

Switches on a touring dash are not the separate switches. There is a switch base which is connected to the harness and some choice of the switches to be installed into base which are switching the prewired circuits. There some aftermarket solutions for Rushmore touring models for custom applications but all of them neither cheaper nor better looking than OEM aux light switch. That why i told you it's the best option IMHO.

On touring models, there is an UNUSED 4-pin plug found deep inside the area ahead of/below the battery.
The following options are available using this factory plug - if equipped on your bike.

So it's different on my Fatboy Lo because the switches are set up differently on a touring bike is what you're saying. On my FB Lo i can turn the aux lights on and off separately. I am not opposed to being seen more, but the switch will just go from high to low beam by your description.
