I am adding auxiliary lights on my R18 FE and need to mount a switch. Does the Classic have a on/off switch for the Auxiliary lights? If so could I get a picture or a part number? Thanks in advance folks.
 
I did test ride Classic last week. The Auxillary switch is shared with Mode switch. Upper half is for Mode and lower half of the switch is for auxiallry lights. I was told that installation requires program update for the lights so it needs to be done at dealer.

And now I understand why the mode switch, which is a rocker switch, only works in one direction. Thanks. R2K, if you figure out how to wire into that switch, it's likely that other applications would be possible too.

I've found these
super useful.

I think I will just add a separate switch to the bars for my Clearwater Aux lights

Did the dealer tell you it’s possible to add classic aux light to the R18 perfectly, just need an program update?

There is a classic model with the color and spec I want but 4000km away. Or I can buy the R18 locally and convert it into a 80% classic.
