Sorry If I sound confused, but what do you mean by 'all light kill switch'? Once you explain what it is you are trying to do I someone may be able to help you.

I believe what he wants is what my buddy had on his RX-7 when he would decided those blue and red lights behind him meant go.

He spliced all the wires to a single toggle switch, So to answer your question if your good at wiring it isn't difficult but side effect is remember it is seriously dangerous to drive with absolutely no lights at night (while probably speeding)

Its not had at all. I did it for my f4i. It takes patience to route all the wires but it isnt hard. If your high beam works like the f4i's you just need to splice into one wire because our low beam controls highbeam so you just need to kill the power to the main one

Oh, I see! LOL! Thanks for explaining it to an old biker! Sounds a bit hairy to me, riding without lights to lose the blue and reds! Oh well, I suppose it's everyone to his own, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Only legal, sane advantage would be starts on cold, winter mornings.
Yes, the relay kills the headlight while it's cranking. However, it's still
on in-between bumps. So, if it's being a 'cranky-starter', it would
conserve battery power. A 'powered-to-close-circuit' relay from the r/r might
work, in that scenerio. Once the bike is running and sending power from the
stator, the lights would automatically come on.
