I've now tried three BPF type LED bulbs in my '74 850. First one seemed to perform fine for a few rides, then after checking high beam one night, noted it would not switch back the just low beam. Took it to bench and same issue...both sides of the LED bulb came on no matter which terminal I feed with negative power (these are positive earth type LEDs).
I worked with the vendor (DynamoRegulatorConversions) in the UK and they sent me out a new, updated bulb (after many months being on back order). In fact I received two for some reason. Welp, both new ones seem to be doing the same thing...only full beam comes on no matter what terminal is feed negative power.
Thought it might be something screwy in the Commando wiring/switching but why does this also happen in bench testing direct to battery?
Here's the ordering page for pic and description:
