relays

Hi, I'm seriously considering trading my 955 Tiger in for a 955 Daytona, an 06 model.
Do I need to fit my headlamp relays to the Daytona?
If so where are they located on the Daytona?
Thanks Dave

Dave, I'm missing something. Why would you need to change relays?

I think it is because the Tiger only has one headlamp on when dipped so a popular mod is to fit a relay to switch both headlamps on. Correct me if I am wrong as I am not a Tiger expert.

The Daytona has both headlamps on when dipped and main so no mods required.

Sorry for the confusion. In the UK the 955 Tiger uses one headlamp for dipped beam, and the other for main beam, even though both lamps have double filament H4 bulbs.
Fitting two relays enables both dipped beams and both main beams, as normal.
