Answer I had a similar problem when I put a CD player in my 92 explorer. The problem was that somehow I used the hot wire from the headlights. I simply just rewired the power wire and problem solved.
First of all I would check the power source. If you didn't use a wiring harness some of the 12v power is discontinued when you turn the headlights on. Using either a voltmeter or testlight check for a constant power source. THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF THIS IS CONNECTING YOU VEHICLES DASH LIGHT WIRE TO THE GROUND ON THE STEREO

Will a car stereo work in a goldwing gl1200?
Short answer, no. Not without some work. Your GL1200 radio has an external amp for the speakers. Your standard car radio will not work with the amp. You would have to bypass the amp. Also, the GL1200 radio has a pin connector plug on the back of it. This connector plug has about 30 different pins. You would have to take the end off the bike and directly wire your new radio to the power supply and speakers. The new car radio will not work with the handle bar mounted control swithes. The new radio will not have auto volume. The new radio will not have the intercom system, as that is built into the factory radio. It could be done, but it would take a lot of work. If your current factory radio does not work, I recommend going to eBay and looking for a used replacement. The radio, when working is a pretty good radio, and gets good reception. If your looking for a CD changer, I would avoid it. I have seen satellite radios hooked into the factory radio, but I personally use a FM transmitter for my CD/mp3 player. That way the signal would go through the factory radio on a FM channel and be played over the speakers or through your headsets.

Why would the high beams on a 1994 Thunderbird work when the low beams do not?
Headlights have two filaments; one for low beams and one for high beams. There is a good chance that the low beams are burnt out. This doesn't necessarily mean that the high beams won't work. However, it's not too common for both low beams to burn out at the same time. Of course, it could be a fluke. I would replace the headlights with new ones and then go from there.
