Default High Beam Problem

Rode the bike to work tonight and High Low Beams seemed to be messed up. I had fairing off over the winter for some mods. Is it possible that I reversed the plug somehow when I hooked the light back up?? Everything else is fine, spots shut off when High beam is switched on, but it looks like the high/low is reversed.

Can't install the plug on backwards...but how about installing the light assembly in the housing up-side-down? Bet that can be done. If not, go through the headlight aiming procedures.

Hmmm.....IIRC, the light seats into slots that SHOULD preclude installin' it upside down - but it would be worth a look. Don't think you can install the assembly upside down either - IIRC, the brackets will only fit a certain way in order to line up the screw mount points. But yer right - best ta check it all out. An' no - thar's only one way ta plug the light in.
