[QUOTE="bajaleo, post: 1218183, member: 28080"] Nothing tapped into this wire. All I can think of is that: A: I generally commute on this bike every day. On my way home in the afternoon, while lane sharing on the I5 in traffic, I turn on my high beams for added visibility. I leave them on until I get out of traffic, sometimes 20 minutes or so. Should running my high beams for this amount of time each day be a problem? And B: The bike has lived near the beach for the last 3-1/2 years, although always in the garage overnight. I have not noticed any excess corrosion anywhere on the bike. Another question. Shouldn't I bypass the connector completely for that run of wire? I don't think I want [I]any[/I] current going through that pin pair anymore. On a related topic, I am following the thread regarding led replacement headlight bulbs. [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/162439-led-4-emitter-h4-buy/"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/162439-led-4-emitter-h4-buy/[/URL] At the moment, the reduced wattage required is appealling to me! Thanks for all the help guys. Leo [/QUOTE]
