Hello, all! I recently picked up a 2006 Ulysses and I'm dealing with an electrical short in the headlight wiring. There is a 4 wire connector that goes into the headlight and the orange wire was severed. As I was looking at the back of the 2-headlight setup, I noticed a plug that goes in between the 2 bulbs and it looks like it has a slot for a small bulb or fuse or something. Right now, the one light works on low, one on high, but I read in the manual that both are supposed to work on high. I guess my questions are 1. What on Earth is that light/fuse plug? 2. If I reconnect the orange wire, do you think that both bulbs will work on high? Thanks for any help! | ||

The orange is for the running light/city light, that sits between the high and low beam. I don't recall the bulb it takes. Here's how to get both lights on when you switch to high beam http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/3842/599673.html (Message edited by froggy on September 04, 2011) | ||

you read the manual wrong. normal operation is only one of the lights on at a time. | ||

On that connector is 3 hot wires and a ground. The black is a ground, the yellow is low beam, white is high beam, and orange is for the running light. The running light only came standard on export bikes and then all 09+ XB. You can stick a bulb in there if you like, it is the same bulb as the licence plate light. | ||

Thanks for the info! I'll do the light mod and stick a bulb in the plug. Have a great holiday weekend! | ||

I put a green bulb in mine. When the parking lights are on the headlights glow green now. Bulb is the same as an 06 liberty license plate bulb. | ||

Bulb number is 194 or 168 | ||

I know this is silly but there is a bulb available that is a 7 color rotating LED. You can set your ign to park and your new light and the tail light will be on. The headlights look perty cool if it's dark out. I call it "mood lighting". It's been a hit around the campfire a few times. whatever |
