    I checked every connection I could find. The fuse is good, tried swapping that. Tightened all my wires behind the windscreen. Bulbs are not burned out. Where else could I have an issue with this? Checked ground also. Everything works, except either headlight...

    I have done the headlight mod, so I checked those connections twice.

    So where else could this problem be coming from?

    Where is that at? I only see relays for the starter, Key switch, and ignition I think.

    Might as well clean them all while I am at it. Anyone have other ideas? Or am I going to have to rip this whole thing apart to check the wiring everywhere?

    Here is something else, high or low beam, the light for high beam stays on my dash...

    In my case, the headlights wouldn't come on and the high beam indicator light was on. The problem was the headlight connector itself. I could wiggle the wires going to the connector and the light would come on. I temporary zip-tied it to go out for my ride but went back and put in new connectors for each wire.

    had the same problem. pull the headlights and check continuity, the check all connections for lose wires, the check relays. relays wont work properly if electic flow isn't correct.
