Hi all, newbie here! My inner lights dont seem to work. Are they just for show? Tried every switch and button.

Not sure about access to the rear of the unit but doubt it.
Also not sure about the lens at the front, looking at it you cannot see inside it, almost like its either blanked off or the lens has a really dark tint to it.

Is it really just for show? I found myself trying to get it to turn on as well.

I find it hard to believe that it is just for show.

Dipped and full beams from the same light, centre ones do nothing.

I bought a scooter at the weekend and was annoyed one of the bulbs had blown. Turns out one side is Dipped beam and the other side is full beam - no way to get both on. Driving around it looks like I've got a bulb out! Same sort of thing

Most motorbikes are like this too. My s1000rr does exactly this. People are always telling me in car parks. :roll:
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?
