Buell blast with streetfighter headlight

My 2004 buell blast, just installed a new streetfighter headlight from ebay, this is what it looks like. Before anyone asks, exhaust is a vance & hines, I didn't install it, was on the bike when i bought it. Unfortunately the audio doesn't pick up how truly throaty it is. Still on the way from china are the new mirrors and turn signals.

There is an "inbox" on YouTube? Im not too techy lol im still blowing fuses and its gettin frustrating! The stock had a white, blue, and green. I think the green was low beam and the blue was high. So the white would be the ground right?

@tsteel80 You need to look at the service manual for your bike, there should be a wiring diagram for everything on the bike, maybe in an appendix. On my bike there is orange, white, yellow, black, orange was unused, but was always hot. White was high beam, yellow was low beam, and black was ground. You wire the ground to one wire from each bulb, then put the other wires on whichever would be best for the situation. I didn't want my center lights to go out when i turn the brights on so I put them

@tsteel80 on orange, so they are always on, and i put the outside white lights, on white wire, for high beam. You need to either find a manual or diagram online to tell you which wire is which, or you need to get a multimeter, and test what the circuits are. If you only have 3 wires it's probably high/low and ground, but if your low beam goes out when you switch to high, it will turn off the center bulbs when you switch to high beam.

@tsteel80 To get around that you might wire the center blue lights to both the high and low, but the outside lights to just the high beam. You really need to put a multimeter, or a 12v circuit tester on it and see how the circuit is set up. If the low beams stay on when you switch to high, you can wire it normally. I can't imagine why you'd be blowing fuses though, LEDs use less current than halogens.

@tsteel80 Yes there is an inbox on youtube, it shows when you receive friend requests, personal messages, when someone replies to one of your comments, or when someone comments on a video of yours. That's how I know when you are messaging me, lol.

[tsteel80]

May I ask a question? Are u still around?

[hzuiel]

@tsteel80 Yeah I check my inbox on youtube all the time.

@tsteel80 yes i have done exactly that on my 50cc lol =P

@tsteel80 Ummmm...without seeing the wiring myself there's not much i can tell you. Mine had a circuit for high beam, low beam, and constant hot, and i put the center blue lights on the constant hot so they're always on, and put the outside white lights on high beam, there's no polarity as far as i can tell, just wire the two blue lights and the two white lights in parrallel, and attach them positive to negative on whatever circuit you're doing, i soldered everything and it took a while.

Cool, thanks for the response. I mounted mine on my cb750 yesterday and it looks awesome except I keep blowing fuses tryin to get the wiring right. Can u give advice? Tsteel80@Yahoo.com

@tsteel80 Technically, yes you could, but you should not if you intend to drive at night time. I got very affordable turn signals off of ebay that look good and are extremely bright. You can see them in some of my other videos.
