ETR174 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 My Shee has a very dim right headlight. It had stock bulbs and I took them out thinking it was them. I ordered a pair of Tusk Super White bulbs and installed them today thinking it would fix the problem but I was wrong. This problem started when I removed TORS and I redid the electrical a little and put red connectors over some things. They were originally soldered so I though I would just put the connectors on. Do you think that could've played a role in this? Everything else works just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Monkey Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 probably ended up with a bad connection for the ground using what I'm assuming are red "butt" connectors. Solder and shrink tube are the best way to do the wiring, and if you want to really make sure to avoid future problems, use liquid electrical tape on all your connections. I seal all my plugs, wire splices, etc. with it. Anyway the easiest way to check is to stuff a wire in with the Black wire in the headlight connector housing, and hold it on a good ground (a clean bolt on the frame) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 X2 on bad ground. It's using the high beam filament and circuitry for ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
