Even though I seldom ride after dark (too many deer in my area) I was looking into increasing the brightness of my headlight on my 78 SE. Currently I have a headlight using a H4 halogen with a 60w/55w Sylvania Siverstar Ultra bulb. I thought I'd start with checking the voltage at the bulb because I have long suspected it was a bit low. When I checked I was surprised at what I found so I made a quick simplified schematic and measured the voltage at various points. Note for all of the measurements the high beam was on, the engine off and the negative probe of my meter was connected directly to the battery. I was hoping to find a problem at some point in the circuit but instead I found there were significant drops everywhere.
Anybody else ever check this?
