Headlight modulator for Downtown?

[jwalz1]

Does anyone know of a source for a Downtown plug and play modulator or have a particular model that was easy to install?

Many thanks.

A modulated headlight.

So you are looking for DRL functionality?

Pretty much.  I see a couple models advertised that  are default on, but are switched off by toggling to brights and back and has a sensor so they don't run at night.  I forget the brand names.  They have plug and play harnesses for certain bikes so you just unclip the wiring from the lights, plug this harness in the middle and you are done.  No splicing.  

I prefer not to splice on a brand new electrical system.  But I see no "plug and play" for Kymco advetrtised.

Just saw a trike out for ride when I went to lunch today and he had a modulator running.  You'd have to have been blind not to see the guy.  Thats what I want.

He's probably trying to make the bike easier to ride on the rear wheel.

Look up 'thesmyrnacowboy' on youtube, he's had the modulator on his burgman for years,
might know a thing or two about the subject.

For what it is worth,  this one is for H8 style headlights that the Downtown uses:

Interesting.  Does this sight have any good background info for the Downtown electrical system?

I don't think so but the service manual would be best for that.
