Well here's what happened. On my way home from my girls house in DC as I approach the Bay Bridge I'm thinking it's kinda dark so I just kept going cuz on the bridge it's pretty well lit. (My lights were working before I left DC cuz at my girls house it's pretty dark). So as I kept wondering if my light were on I decided to get behind a black SUV just to see if I could see my headlight reflection off the back of the SUV. Nothing so I switch on my Hi beams, ok they work. So I just rode home with the Hi beams. When I got home I checked the fuse, it's still good. Tried another bulb but no luck. But the Hi beams work. Is there anything else I could check?
 
you may want to check into ur head light dimmer switch. i had a issue a while back. wire came unsoldered from the contacts inside of the switch. flick it on/off a few times to see if it clicks on & check for heat around that switch. you dont want to ground it out. the
the reason mine happened this way was due to the wiring loom goin into the dimmer switch was pulled on. i use to shove my mornin coffee in between the wiring loom & the triple trees. when i made right hand corners it pulled the wires out. hope this helps!

I tried the dimmer switch a few times. Nothing. Not really knowing what to look for I tried to wiggle the wires while the bike was on to see if it was loose but nothing.

Yeah, it sounds like a bad/broken connection somewhere.

So when can I bring in my bike so you can do your magic? Thanks guys.
