5. Operating Instructions

The Indian Motorcycle Headlight Assembly (Part 2415339) operates in conjunction with your motorcycle's existing electrical system and controls. Once properly installed, its functions are controlled via the motorcycle's standard headlight switch and high/low beam selector.

• High Beam: Provides maximum illumination for riding in dark conditions where no oncoming traffic is present.
• Position Light: The integrated position light provides additional visibility for the motorcycle, especially during daytime or twilight hours. This light typically activates automatically with the ignition or low beam.

Always ensure your headlight is clean and free from obstructions for optimal performance and visibility.
