Re: f4i headlight need SWITCH?

nope you do'nt need the stock switch hooked up to run the low beam..

Have you checked the fuse under the seat? ANd are you sure your using the right wires? I think the headlight wires are like green and black, and green and blue or somthing


btw the gauge cluster only shows if your higher beam is on, not if the low beam is on.. So if its showing your lights are on, it almost sounds like theres a short somewhere or somthing..
As your high beams should not be lighting up on the gauges if the high beam switch isn't hooked up
