I have the 3600 lumen spots fitted and connected to the dim light that goes to the trigger of a relay that switches on the spots same time as the dim light comes on, which is always and with the canbus.

At night though the spots are too bright for oncoming vehicles, and having to switch them off at the handlebar switch every 5 seconds is just not working.

Does anyone know how I can get the spots to work as follows:

During daytime they should always be on with the headlight on dim or daytime running light.

At night I wish them to be able to work with the brights trigger located on the handlebar cluster.

Here is my thought to accomplish this- maybe rather use the switch that came with the spots, and instead of just an on/off switch, connect one wire to the bright light, and one to the dim light that is already connected now. That way I can use the on/off switch to effectively switch between dim light at daytime and bright with its trigger at night.

Any advice? Will this work? Alternative ideas please?
