Aftermarket headlight question
I have a 2005 Night train, it has a 3 wire set-up for the front headlight. A low beam-high beam-ground wire. The aftermarket headlight I got from ebay is a 2 wire set-up, NO visible black ground wire. Is it grounded inside the headlight? Do I need to run the ground wire on my bike somewhere? Thanks for the help.. Is it safe to just run the 2 wires and not use my stock ground wire?

I've never heard of anything like this; if you have the 3-wire bulb, it's usually hi/low beam bulb, if it's 2 wire, it's hi-beam or low beam only bulb; they are not interchangable; maybe what you have is something different????? I'd like to know if it works properly.

I've got an aftermarket headlight on my Sloptail. It's 2 wire; 1 for hi, 1 for lo. Actually, thinking back on all the bikes I've put a custom headlight on, I can't remember one that wasn't 2 wire.
