    im having problems with some of the wiring on my runner, first off:

    the quad headlight, ive wired it up as i was told off someone who has one, this is how i wired it:

    does anyone no if this is right? the only light that actually works is the is full beam where you have to hold donw the button for it to come on, the rest light up on the dah but not on the light

    next the dash lights, the headlight lights work but thats it nothing else and neither does the petrol gauge

    then the indicators, im still needing a green indi relay but does anyone who has a runner no for sure this is the indicator relal plug? as when i got the bike this plug never had anything attached and the indicators never worked so i assumed this was the indicator relay. nothing shows up on the dash that they should be on and no indicator lights flash

    thanks for any help :tup:

    It looks like you have wired the bulbs i serie, but it need to be in parallel!!
    This means you have done it wrong.

    its easy the best way i can think of is bunch all the black wires together from the old headlight wires, connect 1 wire from each bulb to that and the other 2 to the brown wire, then the same for the toerh 2 bulbs, 2 to the earths which are black and 2 to the brown which is the live.
