I am so tired of hearing that my headlight is out....anyone switched out the lights?

I started to, but didn't have much luck. I deal with military gate guards every morning at 5am so it's nice and dark... now I just blind the crap out of them with my brights. What a dumba$$ design. Not much we can really do, both sides use the same bulb, the housing/angle and reflector are made different to give us a low and high beam. If anyone can think of a way to fix this.... let me know.
I've had one thought, but haven't planned it out all the way yet. Buy the samll LED accent lights from Advance/Auto Zone and mount three in the high beam side and wire it up to work with the low beam. Just enough light to illuminate the high beam side so it looks like it's on.
What's up with the ugly third light on the front, we have nice bright clear headlights and then you have the small yellowish light in the center... cheap. I'm looking to see if I can find an LED replacement for that as well.

I run with both of mine on all the time now, i`ve adjusted the aim on the high beam so as not to blind cagers and other road users. Simple to do,

well... I guess that would be easier than what I suggested

Don, the 05s have a clear third light and it looks good.

I have a 05 CBR600RR, I know there's a third clear light, marker light sort of. But why, turn your lights on and walk away from the bike a good distance. It looks yellowish compared to the two bright clear headlights is all I'm saying. I like the looks of having a light there. I just wished it were brighter/whiter.
