headlights

On a Goldwing, the low beam is always on, so the dim switch is probably not the problem. Something simple to check, there have been a number of times where both lights burn out at the same time. Easy to check.
 
Any possibility that the bulb is a double filament bulb and the low filament burnt out.:Shrug:

NOPE.. GL1800 uses an H7 bulb only. It's easy enough to rule the bulb out by simple applying 12 vdc and ground to opposite poles of the bulb. I really do not expect the bulb is the issue.
 
What I have noticed with the 1800. A lot of the 1800 Wings I see are driving around with one light out . Then all of a sudden the 2 nd one burns out and they realize they have no low beam. If I knew from the start it was a 1800 ( I even checked the profile and it said bikes I have owned was a 1984 wing). I as ,Gold Rush said ,you did not fill in the blanks , we are not mind readers. There are now 5 different Goldwings . Early 76-83 ,84-87,88-99,2000-2011, and now the 2011
 
well i guess i was riding with one low beam out and didnt notice it thanks for help and sorry for confusion on what i was riding

Hey Roscoe, If that's the worse you ever do then all is well.... A little confusion once in a while makes all our "old" minds work a bit harder so we get some excitement.... Just glad you sorted out the problem..
