    Or buy one from Yamaha for 3X as much. You didn't say which bike, but they're probably still available.

    If you decide to hard-wire, be sure to include a switch. The purpose of the relay is to have the headlight NOT be fighting the battery for starting juice.

    Update: After going through the entire headlight circuit, I traced it to the utterly crappy job the previous owner did of putting new blade connectors on the fuse box. He used the cheapest Autozone connectors and Half assed CEO Ed them over the studs of the old ones. After replacing g all of the connectors the bike ran smoother and I know have a headlight! Now I just need to sort out the hatchet job that was done when installing g the LED turn signals.

    ThAnks for the help!
