Lo beam does not work, hi beam does.

1978 Goldwing. With the bike running or not, the light does not turn on when the switch is on low but does when I put it on hi.

Are these separate bulbs in the headlight? Are these changeable or do I need a whole new headlight?

Thanks

I believe the originals were sealed beams, I still have mine and will check later. Both beams are in the sealed beam. I now have a vetter fairing and it has a halogen bulb and both beams are contained in the one bulb.

You must be young.

The originals were sealed beams that had both high.low in one.

It could be that the low side has burned out.

I have always left mine on HI beam during the day. In that case if it burns out< I still have low.

My bike is a few years older than me

They have three wires, a common, a lead for high and a lead for low. The bulbs each have a filiment, so it is certainly reasonable that the low has burned out and the high has not. I use high in the daytime and low at night, as it is worse for the low to burn out.
