I always run with the high beam to been seen better, so the high beam burnt out. Go to ebay get 2 55/60W H4 bulbs for $6. This is for the CTX with a fairing, it was easier than I expected.
From the rear of the bike to the front here's the hardware.
1. The 3P electrical connector.
2. The rubber boot around the whole bulbs mounting.
3. The bulb.
4. The spring wire holding the bulb in.
Replace bulb procedure:
1. Remove the left fake speaker grill (Front Inner Cover) to get easy access to the bulb.
2. Remove the 3P connector.
3. Pull on tab(s) on boot to pull off.
4. On right side of spring wire push down and out to release.
5. Remove bulb.
Install new bulb, reverse above procedure.
Just a word of caution, there's a temptation here to put a 80/100W bulb for brighter head lights. The problem with that is the extra wattage (HEAT) has no place to disperse in the head light housing and the housing can melt. The other problem is all the connectors and switches that the head light current goes thru will be stressed from the added current flow. Yes connectors and switches do have wattage ratings. Keep the head light stock. Add some aux lights with additional wiring is the best way to go if you need better lights.
