1984 NQ50 headlight

[jeeab]

Hi,
First post here and I was wondering if you can help me.

Story: I found this old stripped down Honda Spree for free in the San Juan islands. I took it home and got it running, put a battery in, wired turn signals and a tail light in. I plan on getting a quick title and getting it street legal again.

Problem:After I wired the headlight back in, it still wont work. This leads me to believe that it is burnt out. I can't seem to find a replacement headlight anywhere and was wondering if any of you know where I can find one? Keeping the scooter pretty isn't a concern because it is far from stock, so if anyone knows of any work around aftermarket headlights, that would be awesome too.

I hope someone can help

Thanks

remove head light and hook it directly to the battery, green wire to ground battery post and either blue or white wire to positive, if light comes on, you then have a different problem. I just did this test, I had 2 part sprees, trying to make one. checked the light on both and one was good, the other not.

also the engine has to be running for it to come on. does the dash board light work?

You can always test the light with a multimeter. And if its bad just break out the bulb in the headlight and swap in a new bulb. Check out the how to here on the board for installing an hid headlight kit. You can use the same techniques to install any kind of 35 watt bulb.
