Title: Highbeam not working; so what do I need to replace the control switch?
Post by: Bboy AJ on July 22, 2007, 08:41:54 PM
I am going to have to let the pictures do the talking.  What's necessary to make the high beams work?  Obviously it's missing a switch.  How could I turn on the high beams without the switch?  I've been playing with it and it doesn't seem to be turning on, probably due to my lack of knowledge.

Do I just need to buy a switch, stick it in, and that's that?  Sorry I'm not being too descriptive.  Hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves and someone more knowledgeable can lend a helping hand.  Thanks!

Bike fell over pretty hard.  I had the switch with me but I misplaced it and can no longer find it.
