Good morning, according to my information, Euro4 and Euro5 models differ at this point.
With the Euro4, the headlight lights up when the ignition is switched on, with the Euro5 only when the engine is running.

That would make sense. The wiring diagram I have is Euro4. I know the Euro5 made electrical changes, not AUX relay for one, this seems to be another.

QUESTION: Euro 5, does the headlight turn off when the starter motor is activated?

As far as I know, the headlights on the Euro5 versions only light up when the engine has started and the generator is supplying sufficient power. On the Euro4 versions, the headlights come on as soon as you turn the ignition key and remain on while the starter is turning. I have a Euro4 Interceptor and the information about the Euro5 comes from my workshop foreman.

So on the Euro5 there must be a trigger signal form the ECU to turn on headlights. The ECU ‘knows’ when the engine is running.

 The new switches are most likely plug-n-play with the Euro5 versions but not Euro4 versions. There are probably wiring changes that let the right hand switch have the ‘hazard flasher’ feature work on the Euro5 as well.

 Won’t know for sure until I can find a wiring diagram for a Euro5 bike.

Always giving it his head, this morning I asked for a budget to change the ignition switches and lights for those of the Super Meteor, in principle you should not have any problems changing them I'll tell you, they are super handsome chrome

I quite like that they are made of alloy.

For starters, they don't look or feel like they were made by Fisher Price.

I'm not comparing other bikes. I'm comparing the Meteor's switch gear to what's on the Interceptor/CGT--which feels like it was made by Fisher Price.

Even the switchgear on my ancient Honda Nighthawk 250 was much better than my brand new Interceptor.

Are they? do you gave confirmation of this. The images look like they "could" be but I'd be massivley surprised if they were.

From that perspective it looks very much like painted plastic.
