Title: only hi beam on new headlight setup
Post by: whitechocolate781 on July 25, 2021, 10:24:12 AM
Hello,
So, I bought an integrated headlight kit for my 00' 750, projection hi and low beam, LED signals, pretty tight.. hooked it up, however no connection for the PAS light, its just a simple hi beam and lo beam. so i wired it as such and taped off the unusable bits and only used the white wire and yellow/black wire.

I have no low beam function, only hi beam even after playing around with the config. "also the rear tail light is LED with integrated signals which work fine-ish", I was replacing the switch anyway and thought it might fix the issue, i have a aftermarket setup, no instruction of course, after trying different wires, still same result, only hi beam, so weird. below is the factory headlight plug, white, yellow/bk and black were used.

of the connections from the aftermarket, the white/blue/yellow relate to the headlight setup, ive tried several variations. im at a loss, no low beam, only the high beam config shows.

some Duc's have a headlight relay switch, but this is a 2000 monster 750. I dont see any, only a flasher switch and ignition relay.

well, and this is why im looking for input, there was a solid yellow attached the PAS, should I just tie that one to the yellow/blk?

Correct, no relay.  Yellow with black stripe is hi, white is lo, black is ground and solid yellow is for the small bulb in your OEM headlight.  Since your LED headlight is aftermarket I can't go further.  Maybe if you tell us brand and model.  Emphasis on maybe.

so weird, on the factory harness, where the switch plugs in, the wires are reversed. and yellow is looped over ..wish this forum enabled image posting instead of links.

Is this what your wiring is like? Looks like you could hook the parking light to the brown wire to get a day time running light.  I would mess around to make sure you don't have anything reversed.
