How's your key switch ?
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'

Since I purchased the bike I’ve replace the stock coils with 5ohm coils, wires and caps purchased from 4into1.com

I’ve also installed a Dyna electronic ignition. I’ve used Hondaman’s Tranzistorized ignition system in the past but I wanted to give the Dyna a try in this bike. I followed directions but rather than use the wire ‘clip’ that snaps into another wire for power I made a 3-way connected with new male/female plugs and added a plug to the brake pedal wire. It has constant power when the key is turned on so I thought that would be fine. The bikes runs well, and the brake light works, just no headlight or taillight.

Since the issue I tried to bypass the Dyna ignition and see if the lights work.

They do not.

As far as the key switch is concerned, when the switch is turned to ‘park’ setting (far right) the tail light (parking light) works.
