Hey Gang,
Yesterday I was riding through a tunnel when I flicked on high beam. The light came on and then went off again, showing LAMPF (but no warning light). It's a HID50 kit from Les which I fitted a couple of years back and has been working fine ever since, so I don't think it's the same issue as this thread, unless one of the connections has become corroded.
Right now whenever I try to engage high beam (engine on or off, before or after long run etc) the lamp does come on for about half a second together with a buzzing noise, and it seems to be more blue than the low beam during it's brief bout of activity. Then it goes off again, and subsequent attempts to re-engage it result in briefer periods of activity ending in the same result.
The only thing I can think of that's changed recently is that I've wired a new GPS directly to the battery, but I've been doing 200+ miles most days and can't think that this alone would produce enough of a drain to affect battery voltage, though I can't check that right now. Bike starts and runs normally, and I've only used the heated bits occasionally, mostly at altitude.
Any ideas most gratefully received, especially if the dip beam decides to join in the fun.
Cheers!
