i have a 89 blaster i am almost done building. i just go it all put back together and i notice the front head light dont come on the tail light works fine i checked the bulb its good i dont know if its the switch or what?? i hate electical on bike i was just wanting to know what i might wanna check any common prob. ??
 
with the bike running , use a circuit tester and make sure you have voltage to ground on the low and high beam , if not use a seperate ground , like the frame of the quad , if it then lights up , then you have a bum ground wire , if still no voltage , check the wires at the switch , if its the switch , junk it and just install a couple of toggle switches , OR just rob power from the taillight and run it forward . either way easy fix .
 
If your taillight works the headlight should too. You are sure its not the bulb. Check it with a meter like he said and connections. 3 wires on the headlight. 2 are power for low and high and one is ground.
