Hey everyone after my first couple night rides I decided to put a set of HIDS in the warrior. I had a set of ballasts kicking around and a harness for an H13 setup. So I bought the h4 bulbs and started re building the harness to suit my needs but ran into a weird problem. Using the internet to see which wire on the h4 and h13 connector did what I put it together and installed.
Problem! Once it was installed I fired up the sled and let the bulbs heat up. On low beam my high beam indicator was glowing slightly. So I try flipping to high beam and no change at all.
Checked all connections and everything. Eventually I got to the point of trying my old h4 bulb in the other bulb socket. The harness I'm using only uses one socket for signal only. And the right hand socket sits empty.
Well when I plugged in the bulb to the other socket my hids preformed the way they are supposed to. Bulbs move to bring on high beam and back to low. My high beam indicator works as well.
Any ideas on what's going on here? Did my first ride with them last night and I've them. So they gotta stay
 
Got it all sorted out. Mixed up a couple wires. Always check everything with a meter don't trust everything you find online haha.

Glad you got it all straightened out. Hard to believe that a couple of crossed wires will stop it from working properly. LOL. :)
