Hey guys,

When the ignition is on, the low beam is not lighting up but if I flip the brights on, the high beam does work...any ideas?

Ok, first things first, check the bulb, it might of burnt out or vibrated to death. If it looks good, try swapping it with the high beam bulb.

I had this happen to me a couple months ago. The pins inside the wire harness were not making a good connection. I pulled the harness apart and used a very small screwdriver to bend the pins so they would touch the metal on the female end. Worked immediately. I was upset that I spent 30 bones ordering a bulb from Harley and didn't even need it.

did the exact same thing for my high beam only I bought 2 bulbs from autozone for about the same amount as I would have on a DDM HID kit I needed my lights working for homecoming and didn't have time to wait for shipping on HID's

I'm going to see if I can still return them and order the DDM HID kit
