Default Installing daymaker headlight
Installed an after market Daymaker onto my 2010 fatboy lo today and when I switch on high beam all the lights go out. On low beam all the lights are working as expected.

Has anyone do be this and experienced any issues? Or know what/why/how to fix?

put the old light back in. if it works normally, your problem is the led headlight. send it on back to where it came from

All fixed. Was the yellow wire, broken inside the clip under the tank. Must have broken when I unplugged it. Re-crimped and now all good.

Thanks.
