headlight hi/low switch
 

so took the assembly apart the other day for the choke cable. the previous owner/s for some reason decided to cut the hi/low wires and tape them off?

trying to figure out why?

any thoughts?

Switch bad maybe?Did you only have lo beam or high beam headlight?

Re: headlight hi/low switch
 

i think right now it on low beam....

Re: headlight hi/low switch
 

and ya, switch cut, so no changing. and of couse those wires are super short, so cant splice them back together. would have to rewire it to find out

Re: headlight hi/low switch
 

I'am betting switch is bad so they spliced wires together to get headlight working.

hmm. ill have to look into it someday. or just leave it.
thanks

Do you have any annual inspections? In England & Spain, in the annual inspection, both Hi & Low have to work or it's a fail.

Re: headlight hi/low switch
 

no no inspections

Re: headlight hi/low switch
 

Annual inspections are not something common in North America. I did have to have an inspection of my car when I first moved to B.C. though. Couldn't get the plate or insurance without it. After that the car can be falling apart while you drive it and no one really cares.

In all New England States Motorcycles and cars need to pass a yearly inspection.
