This is a feature I much liked on Ducati and Triumph- a momentary hi beam switch.

i have often considered adding one which would be pretty simple using a relay.


Part of the problem is that the International convention "flash of the light/ move over for passing traffic" will not catch the attention of the American driver- who considers the passing lane just another place to eat hamburgers and make phone calls.


So if you are handy easy to wire one up- I had a Pal years ago mount his high beam switch on his left floor board...

Maybe a stupid question, but why don't you just use the High/Low Beam switch?

What you use in your car. The high/ low or the momentary hi switch
