Hello everyone!
I tried installing a dual H4 mod and the lights are acting weird. I realize that I didn't know enough about what I was doing to attempt this. Water under the bridge now. Here's the deets:
I bought a 100 watt power relay that plugs into the stock H4 plug coming from the fairing. The relay itself then splits that into two H4 female plugs that go to the headlights. I cut the back plate on a regular H4 to fit the H7 slot on the left (from the drivers seat).
So now when I turn the bike on, the lights aren't on. Then when I flip the switch to high beams, both low beams come on. If I instead plug the power relay into the factory male plug for the H7 bulb, both low beams are on when the switch is set to low, but flipping to high beam does nothing - both lows stay on with no apparent change in the light.
Even more fun: If I put both factory plugs directly into both H4 bulbs, the left eye is always on set to low beam, and the right eye is dark. If I flip the switch to high beam, the right eye comes on set to low beam.
What have I done? Can this situation be salvaged or is it back to stock? (Also why does the H7 bulb I took out of my bike months ago not fit the factory plug on the left eye)?
The world is a confusing place.
