Not Tim.. but....
What bulb does your KC light use?
Typical KC Highlites or Daylighter Use a single element bulb.. ?
One wire is power, the second is ground...

As previous stated. 2 wire 1 beam. You could put 4 lights on the front 2 low beam & 2 for high beam. Rolling Eyes If you can fit in different bulbs change single filament to double filament. I used a daytime running light module(we need daytime headlights up here) on a buggy, with the module the high beams run 1/2 voltage, which worked fine for "low" beams, & when you switch to high beam you have regular voltage. Look up a company called "see me". I may have a spare module if you are interested pm me.

Good suggestions already made. Other ideas are to look at aftermarket motorcycle sites. All kinds of things there as well.
