    headlight wiring

    I'm replacing the hid headlight that the po had installed with a halagon bulb so I can get the hi/lo beam function back. There are three wires that go to the headlight. A yellow, black and green one. I need to know what wire goes where on the bulb. I'd appreciate any help.

    Headlight Option

    My headlight keeps slipping off the internal clip on the headlight bucket which leaves it held in place only by the springs, causing my headlight to vibrate as I'm riding which is fairly annoying. This coupled with the low light output has me itching to replace the entire headlight. While...

    Disable permanent lights ?

    Recently acquired late model Gen1. UK based but the lights set up is US with permanent lights on. Any information please on how to amend, so that I can decide when to light up ? Do appreciate there might be info already on the forum, but it's so comprehensive and searches have been fruitless.

    Headlight question

    Hey guys, just a quick question. On my 85 Vmax I have done the R/R wire mod . Red wire direct to batt. with 30 amp fuse. and direct ground wire to frame / batt. Charging is up to 14.2 VDC at idle. When the headlight is on though the charging volts drop to 12.3 VDC. Is this normal?
