Real frustrating when I tested them. Right one works perfect with both bulbs--left one won't turn on with ether of them, so I replaced the positive wire--no light.Swapped bulbs again just to make sure! Hooked positive wire directly to bulb from back of headlight using the ground wire from the left bucket no still no good--switched bulbs again in this configuration just to make sure. Same shit! So I'm no electrician and this may sound stupid but I drilled out the ground that was rivited to the bucket in question and bolted down the ground wire, even scraped a little powder coat where the bucket bolts to the bracket to get metal to metal--still no good--oh and I swapped bulbs again just to make sure. the only thing I haven't tried is replacing the ground wire--seems solid though! Can any of you guys provide some help? Holy crap its just a headlight bucket with 2 wires!

Thanks Sonnydaze, No test light--just process of elimination. Only two wires. I know bulb is good. The positive comes off the main headlight bucket-works for other 4" bucket. Today at work I'll talk to some of the electronic guys-get a test light from them. It's got to be ground. But I can't say for sure. I'm weak in electrical but it's not that complex of a job--2 freakin wires! The ground is bolted to the inside of the 4" bucket itself and goes directly to the bulb. Same as the other one that works. I drilled out the rivet in the questionable bucket and bolted it solid. Still no worky! Maybe I have to ground this one to the frame--but why not the other?

on my friends bike the powder was to thick on his left handle bar housing and his blinker would not work until we took a file and filed the powder coating off his housing . run ground from motor straight to bucket and see if it works

on my spots I only had 1 wire coming out, I attached this to the low beam power wire for the headlightinside the bucket, the ground simply went to a rivet inside the spot bucket. on your set up it could be the powder coat, take a look at the underside where the spot bolts on and make sure it is metal to metal contact, also where you have it mount to the forks, make sure it is metal to metal, worse case you could take both spot grounds and run them inside the headlight bucket and attach to the headlight ground
