Your probably talking about switchbacks. It is where you use the light sockets out of a taillight in place of the turn signal light sockets that are there and the extra wire you tie into a keyed wire in the nose. But you will need to use switchback bulbs.

I have switchbacks on my bike. Which as a running light they are white. When you put on your turn signal they will flash yellow/amber, then switchback to white when you cancel the turn signals. I have hid's on my bike at the moment (getting ready to take them off and put on piaa's extreme white bulbs in).

do the switch backs make a difference ....like does it make a good amount of light at night

There is a little more light, not enough to see by though.

If you want more light on the road you might check out the clearwater "darla" lights, very bright while drawing only about 4 amps.
Let me know if you want pics of them on the bike and I'll take a few as time allows.
Board sponsor, pashnit usually has them in stock.

The switchback mod will provide a more conspicious light to others, it will do nothing for your driving field of vision.

this is what you need...
