Passing or Flashing switch

Mick, the unconnected wires are for thr park light, which AU models didn't get (and I'm not sure are allowed under ADR).

Re LED conversions, have a search on here, plenty of info.  I've upgraded the entire lamp to a Stedi 7" iris, works very well but needs a mod to the retaining system and a custom made clamp to hold it in.  Others have just upgraded the bulb to a suitable led or even a quality halogen works well.

I rarely ride at night, during the day I tend to have high beam on so others can see me a bit better, I reckon I'll go the higher wattage H4 bulb and hopefully it will be brighter and I can just use low beam.

The loose wire makes sense, I recall reading about the no parking light for Oz.

Follow up on the Flasher switch, apparently it was a wire connector inside the helmet, I pulled it apart, spray with contact cleaner and it worked.

Now, I think I may have made a mistake     by buying a STEDI LED M'Cycle bulb .. I cannot get the huge thing to fit properly with the wire clip .. I turned it on just to see how bright it is and Holy Crap it's bright !!!

I ended up stuffing up the rubber cap that fits over the bulb casing ... are these a generic type rubber cover ..? Anyhow I'm now looking for one.

And if anyone has successfully fitted the STEDI bulb I'd like to know how .. otherwise I'll sell it or give to my son.

Curiosity got the better of me, crossed my fingers and bent the wire enough to be able to lock the collar of the bulb in. Cut the top off the rubber dust cover so it would fit over the base of the LED bulb. No idea how it will look at night but I should stand out more in the day ... it's bright
