HELP.
Hi there im doing up a Suzuki TS 50 ER, 1981 im having problems with the headlight.
The bulb is a 6v/25/25w. the question is should both filaments be on on high beam, at the moment i have only one filament on for high beam and one filament on for low beam. the high beam indicator comes on when in high beam position. i dont know if this is correct, the haynes manual does not give enough info. this means both beams are only 25w, is this enough for a headlight?

Many thanks Dave.

it's correct. Don't fit a higher wattage bulb, they tend to melt the wiring on those.

Thanks, can you confirm then that both filaments dont come on on high beam.
So what makes it high and low then?
