Headlights

Am I crazy or is there no way to turn off the headlights? It’s useless during the daytime. Anyone know if you can turn them off?

There is no way to turn it off.

The headlight helps with being visible in the daytime. I believe it's even a legal requirement to keep it on in the US.

You could wire in a simple SPST switch. Something round that could tighten on to some plastic would be easiest I think.

Thank you! Never knew it was a legal requirement. I shall carry on with them on.

Yes, there is a way to turn them off: wire in a switch! Not being a wise guy but US bikes are mandated to have headlight on as  Daytime Running Light (DRL). The Euro and Asian models have a switch on right grip where we have a shiny, black plastic cover. Been studying this in wiring diagrams for months and it looks like the wires  are there just no switch. I think I have cooked up a different way just have not done it yet. For today, when you turn ignition on, the lights are on.

Not for a some time now (Euro models). Mandatory to have lights on all the time.

  I guess the Piaggio B V 350 is the only one with delayed lights ongoing to turn ignition on to see if the lights go on with a timer?
