Default Headlight not working

Hey guys jusy fitted a victory headlight to my breakout. It comes with 2 circuits a high beam and a lo beam. Each circuit has a postive and a negative each.

The breakout harness has 4 wires. A negative, a park light, hi and lo. I wired the hi and lo to each individual postive of the headlight. I than spliced both negatives of the lo and hi beam and connecyed to the single negative on the harness. And i left the park light blank.

I now.have no light but the hi beam indicator on the dash works?

Thanks

When asking for tech help, you need to give the year and model of bike.

What kind of bulb are you using that has a 5 wire pigtail socket? Pull the bulb, check your socket bike side, then jump out what you think the bulb side wires are. Chances are that's where the error is.

Well there's your problem... A victory headlight, the poor bike probably doesn't want anyone to notice.

But really if it's canbus then you will have some issues.
