thanks fonty, my bikes using the 55w bulb, i've checked the switches which all looks ok no melting, the switches im talking about are in the actual headlight/indicator assembly

i've tested the bulbs in the car which work fine

so somethings stuffed up

just dont know what tho and can't really be fkd to fix it at the moment its giving me the shits

so i've put everything back together without working headlights

i multimetered it tho and im getting about 8-9volts through the red/blk wire in the assembly, chucked it on the trickle charger to see if it made a difference but nothing

whats the red switch/button you talk about i dont have anything red apart from the kill switch? do you have a pic?

*forgot to mention that i had already replaced the headlight even tho it wasnt blown, but didnt check it this time round will do it 2morro... maybe
