headlight help
hows it going i just replace my headlight on my 03 softail standard
the stock headlight has 3 wires and i just noticed the replacement has only 2 wires
so i assume it doesnt have a high beam?
i tryed to hook it up a few diffrent ways and the only way it will work on high and low is if i leave the black wire unattached
if i attach the black wire and say the yellow to the headlight it work until i hit high beam then it has no light same thing if i hook it up using the other wirh( i forget the color) with the black wire
but like i said if i leave out the black wire i get light on both high and low but it doesnt appear like its any brighter one way or the other
so if your still with me heres my question , what can i do if i leave it the way i have it with out the black wire attached should i ground tht wire to the base of the head light?
thank in advance for any help

At work now I can get a pick up later , but I'll try to describe it a little better the headlight came from eBay it's been a while but I believe the company is demons cycle It is a whole headlight it has two wires that come out of the back 1 blue 1 white they have connectors on each one but it's not 1 solid connector , the bike side has three wires black , yellow , and I'm guessing white (at work) but either way it has three where the light only has two

OK... Demon Cycles is all I needed to know... they are generally Chinese junk parts, but it can be hooked up to run. NO HIGH BEAM is a correct assumption on your part. Connect your white wire to the headlight white wire... connect your black wire to the headlight blue wire... tape the end or put a wire nut on the end of your yellow wire - it is the high beam wire.
