Hawk Headlight questions and issues.
1) what is the small bulb for? Down and left from main bulb.
I thought it would be a daytime running lamp but it runs with the main bulb. 2) I'll need to black out top of headlight assembly as distracting light shines up. 3) Anyone replace the headlight assembly completely? |
1. It's supposed to be a running/accent light. Mine never worked either, and also only comes on with the headlight. I have a feeling that some of them were wired wrong. To me it's not really a big deal, but I guess it depends on your local laws as well.
2. Mine also did this. I simply put a strip of electrical tape across the top/inside portion of the headlight to block it. Probably not the best long-term solution, but it has worked up to this point. Some black nail polish might be a better permament solution. 3. I am not aware of that at this point, but I have considered it. I just dont know what I would go with, and I don't mind the headlight up to this point after doing the LED bulb. |

The following is a fragment from my previous post regarding that light. ----------------- Useless position light has been removed and the wires cut. http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/...pscp6cu9xl.jpg |
I'm going to try to rewire that light for proper behavior, especially since you can turn the lights completely off on this bike. I'd hate for the headlight to be off and have no running light. Plus I have some led side markers and that would be a good place to tap into.

I swapped out the bulb today with a LED bulb then rewired it to work the way it supposed to. I took the brown wire hooked to the black wire that is in the square 4 prong connector which is hot when the ignition is on. The LED is so much brighter.

I used the wires for the small bulb to power my phone charger.
