Pulling into the garage this morning, I noticed the headlights weren't working,I mean the low beams. I switched to high beam and they worked. OK,switch off engine, and try again. This time the high beams
didn't work. "Ah Ha", I said to myself, the bulbs are blown. Following Southern Roller's post in the thread of a similar name, I decided to change the bulbs.What a PITA!. To cut a long story short, I discovered that the bulbs are OK. On European models there is a switch on the left handlebar which lets you switch quickly to high-beam.I tried it,and the high-beam works on the new bulbs and the old ones. All the other lights are working(indicators,brake light,parking lights). To my limited understanding,this points to a relay problem.In the above-mentioned thread,dcarver found a replacement relay made by Panasonic.However,the thread is a few years old,and a Google search shows that it's obsolete.Can anyone point me to an equivalent?
Thanks in advance.
