headlight hi/low switch

magnum44270 · 05-20-2010, 11:10 PM

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?

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

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

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

no no inspections

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.
