IceAlmeida Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 hey guys ive had these headlights on my 2005 banshee for like 1 yr now and i had to cut into the old headlight wire to install these new ones and they only work when i set my headlights to the brightest/high beams but the problem im having is that when i turn my high beams on when my new headlights are working my rear braking light is lit but like half ass and when i push the rear brake it doesnt go brighter ok and also when i switch my lights to the first setting my rear brake light works np but my headlights dont work this isnt a big deal for me when im riding during the day cuz i dont really use my headlights much but i like the look of them but when i ride at night like i was tonight my buddy behind me cant see me brake which really sucks does anyone know a way to fix this when i bought the lights they said they would work on a stock setup but im thinking my banshee doesnt make enough power to light up the rear brake light and the headlights at the same time because my rear brake light works no problem when my headlights arent on http://s1147.photobucket.com/albums/o544/icealmeida/?action=view¤t=b64184f1.jpg http://s1147.photobucket.com/albums/o544/icealmeida/?action=view¤t=2cefc8a1.jpg Quote
Cpt Obvious Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 I've been trying the samething. Your headlights now only work on high beam and not low is because your only plugged into the high beam wire. If your headlights are more then 35 watts they will draw more power then your bike can put out, which will make your brake light dim. Quote
