I have a 2k m2 and i am going to use the headlight off of an XB-S.
I have three wires on my m2's harness, I am going to assume without looking at my service manual that they are a ground, high beam and low beam.
The XB-S lights are dual and the have more posts for wires, two per bulb thus four total.
My question is how to wires these so i have both lights on at the same time, full time.
I seen that spiderman has put these lights on his bike, are you still around here?? thanks BLAKE

Think about ground to each and High beam to each that allows you to turn the light off during low voltage situations. Only draw back is state inspection?

Not sure on your bike but the Uly' have 4 wires going to em, 1 low, one hi, one is an International wire--we swap this to low so it does not go off when high beam comes on.
