They aren't black. They're dark gray. They were SUPPOSED to be light gray, but I ran out of paint doing the 2nd rim, and it was a discontinued color. So I went and got a similar color according to cap color, and it was that dark!!! I'm not taking them off again to repaint them. I'll wait for that paint to chip off, and then I am getting them powdercoated. Screw this spray paint crap. lol

yes another fuse of equal amperage wil work. but take the trike fuse to wherever to make sure you get the right one.

Napa would have fuses, right?? Lol.. I've never had to buy a fusehaha.

****!! I was just out there showing it to my dad seeing if he knew what was wrong. He said the fuse isn't blown, and I didn't think so either. A few questions:
1) Even if it is blown, could it look like it isn't?
2) Is that the only fuse on the bike??
3) If the fuse isn't blown.. what is wrong???
I tried it with a new battery from my dads Big Red, and it still didn't work. So its definately not the battery. I'm so aggrivated with myself. Not much has seemed to go right the first time on this project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Ok. Another question. Would only the hi or low beam work when the bike is off? Because I have been testing these wiring combinations with the bike off and not running. I didn't think it would matter.. but I got to thinking about thought that it might do something. I don't know. I just know I want this headlight to WORK!

Dude... No offense, but you need a multimeter! Sears sells them for freakin $9.99, go pick one up. You'll be able to check the output voltage and narrow down which wires give off voltage for the light in which position, and you'll also be able to check the fuses to see if they're good using the resistance setting. I can give you more info on what to look for in a good cheap meter, let me know if you need help. THE METER WILL BE YOUR NUMBER ONE TROUBLESHOOTING SOURCE! James

I know. But thats the problem. I've dumped so much into this SX project, that I have almost nothing left. And if I were to splurge and get a multi meter, what kind of output would each give off? I'm not even sure that the high/low would be different amperages or w/e. Its two differnet filaments.. not two different electrical outputs. I'm not sure. Ugh. I'll either borrow or get a multimeter.
But thats not really my problem at this point. The problem is WTF is wrong with the electrical system that it don't even work.

If the fuse is blown you should be able to see it in the center of the glass portion although once every million years or so they will burn out near the end under the metal portion where you can't see it.
If you don't have a spare fuse (dad's ES) take a piece of wire about 6" long, bare both ends, remove your fuse, turn your key on, turn your lights on & insert one end of the wire in each end of the fuse holder for only a second or two & see if the lights work. But ONLY for a second or two. If this works then it was the fuse, if not, then it wasn't.
Other than that it is time to recheck all connections. Unplug & reconnect all connections one at a time so you don't get anything mixed up. Check all ground connections as well.
You might have created an arc when things shorted out & it isn't connecting well there.
Not sure if there is another fuse in the system or not.
A whole bunch of trikes.

just replace the fuse just in case there like 5 dollars for a chase of 20.

Ooo. I never thought of that. Now we are talking. Where is the fuse on the ES? I haven't worked on them much, so I don't know. I went out and looked, and didn't see it.
What do you mean by the arc thing? How would it make it so it doesn't connect?
And one more stupid question: could touching these two wires together have shorted out the whole system/ruined most of the wiring harness? My dad said that since they touched, I probably shorted/ruined most of the electrical system. I think he is full of B.S.. but I'm just double checking on this.

Sweet ass. Now that is what I'm talking about
What pic do you need? A pic of the left side of the bike, or the rear?
EDIT: Here. I'll let you take your pick:
