Yellow and Dim Dipped Beam

[Trippy]

I have noticed that dipped beam on my V11 Sport is yellow and seems quite quite dim. Main beam seems bright and white, the reflector and unit seems in perfect condition so I changed the bulb .... still the same. Any idea's or are "they all like that sir".

Low power to the headlight. It might be the +12V feed or it might be the ground or both. I would recommend running an auxilary ground wire from the headlight and also run a heavier gauge wire through a relay.

Kiwi Roy, Docc and a few others have made some excellent posts on this subject. For example:

Using advice from others on this forum, I purchased all new relays. Upon installing them, my headlamp brightened up considerably. I can't say if it was the relay, or jostling the contacts.
