Most don't seem to be reporting any issues with these knock off LED headlights. My knock off does set off the electrical diagnostic light if I switch it to low beam but it's not throwing any DTC's. Leave it on high beam, the CANbus is happy so I just keep it on 'can ya see me now' mode. I could add load to the low beam circuit so the bike sees at least 1.4a but I'd rather not cut in to the wiring so I just ignore the red diagnostic when I do need to use low beam.
It's a nice light and so much brighter than the stock headlight, that red diagnostic is my 'low beam' indicator
I will look in to upgrading to a better LED but for now, the added lighting is worth that little annoyance...

When I'm riding during daylight hours I just keep the high beam on. My bike isn't throwing any codes like your CANbus is, so it's just an annoyance that the electrical diagnostic light comes on when I do switch to low beam after dark. Once I restart the bike with the headlight switched back to high beam the diagnostic light clears and stays off until I go back to low beam again.
I don't like the fact it's doing what its doing but I do like how bright the LED is, I will address that with a different LED headlight; I only paid $50 shipped for this LED and it was a test to see if it was worth the coin for one of the better LED's; it is
That's how a Wide Glide looks
The 2" tank lift is the perfect choice, it follows the lines of the bike perfectly...

From: Depends on who wants to know.........and why.
Today I started working on the new(used) OEM exhaust headers. I started cleaning up the front header with some 0000 steel wool and Blue Magic Metal Polish. I bought some semi gloss black high heat spray paint for the smaller black heat shields. I'm going to order some chrome heat shields later. I need the rear bracket and heat shield clamps then everything should be good to go - as far as the exhaust.
