Got a weird problem here... tonight when I was driving home from the Nelson RAT Raid my headlight only came on dim (like it does when the key on on the Park setting) on low beam but it was fine on high beam. I'm thinking the bulb is okay 'cause it is dimly lit so it might be something in well... something else. I really don't know.

Thanks... Keith

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Okay, got 'er done. Went with one of those Hawkeye bulbs... s'pose to be 30% brighter with same wattage. Rode home in the dark tonight... noticeable difference.
