Default Hooking all lights to be on when HI switch is on

I have a 2007 Sportsman 800 twin efi. To me it seems as if my two cat eyes are brighter than the supposed Hi Beam light on the handlebars. Is there a way to hook them to all come on when you hit the HI beam? I did a short search on here and came up with nothing. Anyone do this before?

I understand what your saying bout the low beams being brighter than the hi. Quadovator does make a kit but cost plenty for what you get. Plus I think some parts are cheap (scotch-locks) so I would recommend figuring out how to do it and fix it yourself I will see if I can post some info from another forum Im on as I asked the same question. It is a little more difficult then hooking 2 wires together.

Here is the conversation I had with a guy on another forum.

These instruction should be for a 2008 sportsman 800 H.O. EFI ask the dealer to be sure a 2007 is the same before you cut into wires

I used the info from switzomatic's post....worked well with my HID's on my 2007 X2. I would go with a relay instead of the diode setup.

Thanks for adding the link nojoke. I was just about to search my posts for him. Relay mod works better IMO and is much cheaper.

Thanks Switzo, I printed the instructions and am pretty handy with mechanical and electrical aspects of most things. I figure this should be a good little project to handle. Much Appreciated

I hooked all the wires to the relay and I get the same as it was before. All lights do not come on. Triple checked all the wires stated but nothing =( Must not be the correct wires for the 2007 sportsman 800 or the relay is bad Thanks anyways
