Description of the problem	2005 harley davidson softail heritage in a rainstorm a driver did not see me and almost hit me as he turned into my lane. After i got home i discovered my headlights were inoperative. This motorcycle has less than 11,000 miles on it and the deficiency within the electrical system/wiring harnesses could've killed me. The bike is at new river harley davidson at jacksonville north carolina supposedly under repair (within their appointment schedule of course).
