[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 438102, member: 118"] While entirely possible, that has not been my experience. Due to traveling, I have ridden with one headlight burned out (lowbeam) for thousands of miles. And I only replace one at a time. After now replacing many headlight bulbs, I have seen no correlation between one going, and then another going shortly thereafter. Still, if all else fails, it can't hurt to check both bulbs. Sounds to me like it could be the headlight relay #2 that controls the high/low beam. Can you hear it click when operating the switch? Go into diagnostic mode, I know there is a test for Headlight relay #1 - the on/off with the ignition relay. You can at least eliminate that one as the source of your trouble. [I]Edit:[/I] No! The highs don't come on without engine running. Headlight relay #1 prevents that. BTW dude, what have you done to piss off the electrical Gods? [/QUOTE]
