So, get this I list low beams, am a crappy solderer, well yes but that wasn't the issue, this time I was pushing the metal female out of the back of the three prong plug on the low. I know no one cares about this thread anymore, but I had to throw that in.....should've called it Murphys Ironhead, I can't believe this bike; I had to laugh this time.

Thanks for the update. We've all had stuff like that happen. For me it was the oil pressure light socket in the headlight of my shovelhead. Easy fix
