Have you checked the wiring is all intact?
Probably a good idea to get your switchgear apart too, can get mucky.

Re: front lights not working right
appoligize for hi-jack
but on the note of lighting, i noticed other day on the nc that both lights work together at all times, so low is both and high is both, on most other bikes with 2 head lights its normally 1 for 1 and the other for full beam etc..... is this right on the nc?

Re: front lights not working right
Both lights should work whether your using side light, dipped beam or high beam

Re: front lights not working right
Seems a bit odd it should fail on one of the lights not working. People out there have single headlight conversions and they don't fail! I guess it's the old adage of if it's fitted, it must work right. Having said that, I have had a few MOTs where the headlight aim was a fail, and they only adjusted a single headlight, saying that was good enough....
