    Got a little problem and need some ideas. Was out last night and suddenly the road went pitch black in front of me :lol:

    My headlights went off.

    I can switch my main beam on and off via the flasher button and also the main beam switch. Just got no normal beam.

    Anyone suggest anything?

    Are they 2 differant bulbs like car headlights ?? 1 for dipped, 1 for high ??

    Or could be a loose wire for the dipped light !!

    Nope, not the fuse. Plus the headlights seem to only have the one fuse which normal and full beam.

    I hate electrics. You can guarantee this'll be going into the shop to be sorted :( Looks like I'll be staying in when it's dark.

    Yup it was the filament in the end. Just found it very strange that both the left and right went at the same time lol

    O well, new bulbs are in now... joy :)
