how to turn headlight off on f4i

Hey i want to be able to run a switch so that i can turn off my headlight when im at the lot. How can I do this? Just cut the headlight wire and run a switch in it mounted on the clip ons? And if this is all I need to do Does anyone know which wire i have to do this too and where its located at?
Thanks

i think both the lights stay on when the high beam is on so the low beam would still be there...

if you cut the wires just do this so you can just use your high low beam as a switch if you want

get a volt tester and just test the wires flip the high on and off and see which gets a reading when you flip it on and connect the wires to that

thats what i did on my old bike and it worked fine

Re: how to turn headlight off on f4i

i just wired my SD2 headlight i got from hai right before the plug for the high beam. so i just run mine off of the switch thats already there. if you have the stock headlight im sure there is a way you can do this also, i think it was already mentioned in this thread...
