Default Headlight issue.

My low beam does not burn when switch is on or bike is running, but the high beam is fine....anybody have such issue?

Time for a new bulb the element for one can burn out before the other. My high beam usually goes out first.

Is the bulb good? With the holgen bulbs they some times look fine but won't light. Best thing to do is check for voltage on the yellow wire if I remember correctly.

Thanks...i thought it was one in the same by the looks of the bulb. I was starting to freak out because of the ape install.....but i guess if the wiring was wrong it wouldn't work at all.

If it has ceased to work since the install, then you may have a problem with the low beam wire.... 3 wires to headlight ,low, high, ground. Of course if it did work after install then went out, could just be the low beam portion of the bulb.
