Anyone have been any problem with headlight not working. Got new bulb still don't work. Can anyone tell me the schematics of the head light wiring? Thxs for any help with this problem.

I don't have a diagram, but if you have a multimeter it should be fairly easy to track down the problem. Is it only the low beam and the high beam works, or are both not working?

Both the high beam and low beam is not working.

Check if the earth/green wire actually works.
Check the black power wire going to the light switch see if it has voltage, check the wire between the light switch and hi low beam switch if its got power.
Park lamp working? does it have 1?

Use common multi meter skills - no diagrams needed just basic diagnostics etc

I had the same problem and it ended up being my high beam/low beam switch. Just wiggle it a bit to make sure that’s not your problem also. I ended up having to shim it with a piece of zip tie to keep the headlight on. I still can’t find a replacement switch that’s cheap to fit.

"L" whatever color that is goes to high-beam and white goes to low beam. Both from the high/low switch. There is a wire with a yellow stripe that goes directly from the light switch to the high/low switch inside the switch housing that gives the headlight circuit power.

The black wire going to light switch comes from a splice in to another black wire going from regulator to ignition switch that grounds most positive parts of all lights.
