    Highbeam problem......

    Anyone know exactly what to look for if you only have one Highbeam that comes on(on bike facing foward,left side)?Both low beams work fine though.....Funny thing is,I would turn the wheel all the way to the left quickly,till you get a "clunk" from it being all the way left,and the right highbeam would come on!!I used that trick for about two weeks,but it doesn't seem to work anymore....Not sure if it's the wiring,or the bulb,or something else........Anyone have an idea?!Thanks.

    always stay positive haha and go with cheap first if your never sure, so for one id just check your connector to your bulb and make sure its clean, then take out your bulb and check to see if its busted, those halogen bulbs can be sensitive sometimes so try not to touch the glass with your fingers. (oil from your hands cause heat from the bulb to stay inside the glass instead of dissipating and cause it to burst)

        You have two lowbeams and two highbeams?

          Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a
          mistake when you make it again.

              Seriously...every frickin stoplight I hear it...I wish it wasn't such a horrendous pain to wire up dual lows and highs...

                try a new bulb
                sometimes you can make the filiment reconnect by tapping or bangging the bulb

                If you take the bulb out you should be able to see the broken filiment

                DO NOT touch the glass, the oils in your skin are enough to cause a new bulb to burn out
