Hello all, and sorry for stupid question I just bought Hyperstrada 821 and I have minor problem wit the lights. How do I turn on the head light (low beam light), or is there other light than led-lights? I know hot to turn on high beam lights, but low beam lights are not on when I start the engine. I have not tried to change bulb yet but I`ll do it.
Thanks beforehands!

It doesn't sound like the same silly business as when I forgot where the hi/lo switch is! The most obvious answer is that the low beam filament of the H4 bulb has blown. Simple solution, at least...

mine was exactly the same way, it was the bulb (i didnt know any better, i just thought it had terrible lights)
i actually liked it during the day with the parking lights only on, so i put a socket in there and a switch on the handlebars so i can turn the low beam on or off.
its very clean looking during the day

@Martymoe: do you have some installation photos of your socket/switch for the headlight bulb? I'd like to do the same.
However, you'll then lose the high beam as well during the day because it's also switched off, don't you?
