    1985 Honda 350X Headlight

    All connections good. There is one chinese aftermarket bulb with the same specs as other stanley bulb. The lights do not work together but both work lol

    High beam the left side works. Low beam the right side works.
    I cleaned out the inside of the switch stiill no good.

    Kill switch works too. Should I swap it out for another switch ?

    Look inside the bulbs,both should have two wires a piece. try checking the manual as well to make sure you have the right bulbs

    No - the switch is not the problem.

    Wiring is a single path to the headlight assembly.
    Since you get power at the headlight for hi and low the problem is at the headlight assemblt.
    Either the bulb(s), socket(s), or wire(s) in the headlight itself.

    Swap the bulbs side to side (swap sockets). If the symptoms follow the bulbs, the bulbs are your problem. If not, then it's the sockets or wires or connections. Make sure they are all clean and corrosion free.

    I will swap out the bulbs. I checked the connections in the harness in those clear rubber boots too. Thanks

    yup they are dual filament bulbs. I think I will go with 2 new bulbs. I doubt they have these bulbs at the local Honda steeler ?

    Take the bulb to your local NAPA store. The NAPA equivalent is something like an HM202 or something like that. Take a bulb with you.
