Just bought a 2012 MTS 1200 and both low beams are dead.
Did some looking and found that the low beam relay is a failure point. Swapped out the low and high beam relays, no joy.
Then flicked the switch and felt both relays click. Hmmmm...
Checked one of the bulbs (which I should have done in the first place)--fried. Haven't pulled the other one yet, but I'm betting both are burnt.
Most of the modern bikes I've owned either use H4 (high and low beam in one bulb, three prongs) or an H11 (separate low and high beam bulbs,
two prongs)
So...are these bulbs H11s? And does the bulb come apart from the base/socket like some do?
Looking on eBay, Amazon, etc...bazillions of bulbs, but no part numbers. Guess I can disassemble it again and take one with me, but this is such a simple question I figured I'd ask it here.
Thanks in advance, Rich
