Street Glide Headlight Problem

I have a 2008 Street Glide that only has highbeam headlight. Bulb is still good but when I switch it to low beam, I have no light. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You sure the bulb is still good? If your low beam is out, your bulb is probably no good.

I have an 09 streetglide and my low beam filament never lasts more than about 3 or 4 months.
From stock harley to expensive PIAA bulbs, I have the same problem.

Your low beam filament is the one that sits forward in the "spoon". A break can be very hard to detect.

Yea, It must have been a loose wire. I took my fairing off the other night to install a radio and when I remounted it, the low beam started to work and has been ever since. Thanks for the advise.
