Title: High Beam Light
Post by: shmdalum on January 19, 2007, 07:36:46 PM
Ok so after jetting, installing the Jardine, installing the new handlebars I made, and installing the Puig windscreen my highbeam light quit working. All the others (neutral, oil, and the other one) work. Just a spent bulb??? Thoughts????

Cheers,
Howie

If your low beam works, then get a new bulb.  It just burned out, no correlation to the new mods.

i think hes talking about the high beam indicator light. its no big deal, its a common thing with the gs for the indicator light to go out.

Yeah the indicator not the actual headlight. Simple to change out? I haven't actually looked at it close yet?

Fairly simple, while you're in there, you might consider swapping to LEDs. Do a search for LED dash, you'll find all the info you need.

I agree to switching to LED's.  you can get them cheep . get the multi LED 194 bulb replacements and when you get around to changing the bubls you will see just how easy it is! I was impressed .
