Is it normal for the model to have the small bulb light when ignition is on but engine is not running and running but the larger bulb S2 35/35w will only light when the engine is running and switch is on high beam. I am guessing that the larger bulb does not have a dual element for high and low beam. Any help thanks  |

You got it! the little bulb is a pilot light & other is actual headlight. Which is ac powered (on when running)  |

Thanks for the welcome.
The larger s2 35/35watt does have 2 filaments. Only the unshielded (high beam) works but the shielded low beam does not. I had my son whom works as a electrical/mechanical engineer check the bulb and connections. He told me the 3 wire connection blue,green,white has a short to ground.
What would be the fix?

Most common headlight issue is the bulb. , i usually carry a few spares in the garage. Sometimes bulbs last for years , sometimes they last 2 weeks.
