So if my bright light is working but my regular light isn't. Does that mean my regular light just burnt out?

Probably. You won't know until you try a new bulb.
Do NOT touch the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil in your skin may cause it to fail prematurely.

P.S. Low beam/High beam :biggrin:

When I looked it up on bike bandit there is only one light. One light for low and high beams? Only half of it burnt out?

That would be correct Dan, one bulb, incorporating one element each for high and low beam. The low beam burns out first as it is on more.

I should really carry a spare, as I do a lot of riding after dark.

Badbob carries a spare headlight bulb, and encourages others to do so too. AMOF, given the opportunity, he'd encourage others just to carry along another working bike, you know, just in case. :redflip:

Yes, the headlight bulb is just a single unit. You can get them at Autozone or any auto parts store or cycle shop. If you want brighter, go for the Silverstar and add a modulator to it.

The modulator could get you pulled over though...some LEOs just don't understand.
