Hi guys and gals.
I recently replaced the headlamp bulbs in my GXL 150 with LED in both low and high beam.
The conversion went well; However, the LH high beam would not work. I tried everything I could think of to find the fault.
I swapped bulbs side-to-side. The bulbs were fine.
I checked the fuse, it's OK.
The earth and power were fine at the OEM wiring connector too.
I thought it might be the contacts within the connector. No, they were fine also.
Then, on a whim, I tried putting the LED plug into the OEM (symmetrical) connector back-to-front. Voila..! It worked.
The LED is polarity sensitive "obviously". The OEM wiring is set up differently only on the left side with the pos and neg terminals around the other way to the right. The only minor drawback is that the connector lock has nothing to engage to. A bit of electrical tape and she's good to go...!
