Default LED Headlight.

Recently I installed the new Harley Davidson Daymaker Adaptive LED Headlamp on my 2009 Street glide. Being sure to follow the install instructions word for word.

Now, for some unknown reason, this plug and play unit, is causing my High Beam indicator lamp on my dash to stay on. Even though, it does get dimmer when switched to low beam. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Please note: When I reinstalled the original incandescent light. Everything functioned properly.

I'm not sure what your issue is but maybe the daymaker unit itself is bad.Give a call to whom you bought it from see what they say.

The OP states High Beam indicator is on, which is blue. The green light is for the passing lights, at least on my 14 FLHTK

This has to be an interaction with the electronics on the motorcycle. The headlamp does not control the blue high beam indicator, the bike does. My guess is that there is something about the headlamp that the bike's electronics does not like!
