I need your opinion please.  The lights are fitted and everything is in place, but I need to decide where I want to connect the relay... I would like the spotlights to be on all the time together with the dim lights.  That way people can see you much easier!  Basically 3 options:

1)  Put it on a seperate switch and switch them on/off at own will.
I don't like an extra switch on the dash and there is no nice place to put it.

2)  Wire them together with the dim lights.  (The dim lights is always on when the bike is switched on or running)
This might be the best option.  When you start the bike does it switch off the lights.  I'm afraid that all the lights and starter will draw to much current from the battery.  If the lights are turned off when the start button are pressed, then it won't be a problem.  It seems to be that way, or is it? 

3)  Wire it to the headlight
I want the spots to be on when on dims aswell.  Don't like this option very much.

Please give me your opinion, I'll appreciate it!
