    blew headlights on my 04 r1! help plz!w

    So I bought some of those led flush mounts to replace the stock ones. Got them all wired in but the stock wiring has 3 colored wires and the flushmounts only have 2.
    So I got them to work and disregarded the other colour with some different attemps, but when im all done and there put back I realize I haqve no headlights.
    so I rigged back up the stockones to see what's goin on and still no lights!
    did I proly just blow the headlight fuse? If so where is the fuse on my bike and also, how to I rig these flush mounts onto my bike, there suppose to be for my model so I don't undeerstand?
    any help appreciated!

    Have you tried starting the engine ... or was this determined just by turning the key on?

    Although I don't know for sure on that particular bike, a lot of bikes have a relay that holds the headlights off until the engine is running.

    The headlights are on a separate fused circuit from the running lights and signals. Nothing you would have done involving the turn signal wiring should have affected the headlight circuit.

    Your starter button is a two way switch, with key on, the lights are on, when start button pushed power to the lights is killed and power goes to the starter.
