Default Headlight problem

So i rode my 93 f2 to work yesterday, and when i left the headlight was not working. I checked the fuses and replced the bulb but with no luck. I put some LED lights in the night before but those were all connected seperate from any other wire. I didn't splice into any other wires. Is there something im missing? I haven't followed the wires throughout the bike yet to see if any are loose/damaged because i don't have the time till my days off. If anyone has any idea what it could be please let me know. Thanks.

Go through all of the fuses again, check the bulbs also. Also check the connections there and make sure the posts are clean.

I have checked the fuses three times now and none of them are blown. I put a brand new bulb in and nothing came from that. I'll check the connections after work today. I think it has to be a wiring problem. I wanted to cruise through campus last night with my buddies so i went to walmart and bought some fog lights. They were bright, but i should have only hooked up one because it drained my battery and killed the bike in front of some hot ladies. They were drunk and still wanted to ride though.

Had the same problem with my '92 F2. It took me two weeks of testing and tinkering to figure out that the hot wire coming into the headlight passed through the RIGHT handlebar via the starter button in the "free" position. Ripped apart that handbar and sure enough, the wire was broken going into the switch. A dab of solder and I had a headlight again. Had I known, it would've been a five minute fix!!!!
