Default Headlight just went off and won't come back on

I have a 2002 honda metropolitan scooter.. i was driving down the road and went to switch my bright lights on and when I did it appeared dim. So I switched it off brights back to low beam and it came back on for about 2 seconds then light went out completely and had never came back on since. Changed the bulb , wasn't that checked fuses and they are ok. What else can I check??. Also all my brake lights, turn signals all work fine and the speedometer light works to

without looking at the shop manual i would cycle the low/high beam switch many times even pushing don on the switch s you do it. other than that you would have to obtain a shop manual and see what other parts are involved

Wiring and switch are to be examined.

I would check the connection at the bulb for corrosion and look around for a service manual that would have a wiring diagram. manualslib.com has some, you may have to cruise around through a few manuals to see if anything else is in the circuit like a headlight relay and where it is.

Also look at the siring to the socket for any bulges. You may need to open up the harness.

If that were true you would have found it. Do you know hos to trace wiring?
