Default New LED headlight install help. Please.


I just installed a new LED headlight bulb 5/3/4" ebay $62.00 bulb three prong for a 2002 wide glide. Problem is Hi and low beam work for running light now and when I put the hi beam switch on both Hi and low beam go off? I checked with a volt meter which wire was ground and which wire was for high beam, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Double check your connections, but that light should be plug and play. If the connections are good then the light is bad.

The problem was there was no female plug, it had been removed and just the three wires were attached to the stock light. I had them wired to the wrong tabs on the new LED plug. I did figure it out and it works great.
