Hey has anyone in the VA Beach area completed the Head Light Mod. Right now I just ride on High but would like to change that if possible. I'm like water when it comes to electricity..... we don't mix well.....

Surely you know by now , your bright lights and your dim lights are both single filliment bulbs. The answer is duel filliment bulbs , which have three leads on the bulb. The plug on your 1000rr only has two at least on my 06 rr they have two. We have to change wiring, bulbs,housing, and switch. I would love to here an alternate solution. The Doctor.

ok, i tried to do this mod that was sent to me, i bought new 3 plug connectors for a dual fitment bulb, then took the low beam wire from the left light made a jumper to the third plug on the right light and took the high beam wire from the right light and jumped it the th 3rd plug on left light, everything worked fine but the issue was everything heated up a bit more, meaning the wires got hot... also, dual fitment bulbs are a different size so i had to actually cut down the metal ring around the bulb to get them to fit and make a mounting ring fow the retension wire to hold it in.. all and all it cost me $10 for the plugs, any hardware store, $18 for 2 i think they were h4 bulbs(dual fitment, 55w low and 60w high beam), i also spent $2.50 on wire jacks so i didnt have to cut my stock wires and just plugged into the exsisting clips, whish was a good idea since i had to pull it all off 3hrs later anyway...all and all, it didnt work out at all for me...and about 2hrs of my time, then i took it all back off...

I will add my two cents here....
The easiest way I could do it on my '06 (Besides run with the highs on)was to use two micro single pole double throw relays. The relays are available at Rat Shack or most other electrical suppliers. Here is what I did: I used the OE harness to drive the coil of the realys, then in all 12 Gauge wiring I wired according to this schematic. Make sure your relays are rated for no less than 15 amps (55watt low + 60 watt high = 115. 115watts divided by 14 volts = 8 amps. Always try double your rated current on contacts.... So 15 amps would suffice and be safe.)
Mine works fine, no hot wires = no problems. I hid the relays in the left mid with the t/s relay and wrapped my wires and ran them with the oe harness. I did then adjust the right down somewhat, because the high really illuminates!! Good luck!! This is what worked for me, if you do not feel comfortable doing it please don't try!!

Forgot to mention I had to cut down an H4 bulb to fit in both headlight buckets, then I used a piece of aluminum to accomodate the space between the new bulb and the retaining wire.

I just went ahead and ordered this part (we had a discussion about it on another forum) it costs about $75 and it's gonna be shipped out on monday (or so i was told).

http://www.veiligmotorrijden.com/

The kawasaki Z1000, Z750, Z750S and many other motorcycles with 2 headlights run just one headlight for low beam, then add the other when on high beam. So normal op is the cyclops effect. The mod provides 40% power to the high beam during normal (low beam) operation then bumps it to 100% when high beam is selected. This way, both beams are always on for more cager visibility.

Hey that seems like a really cool box. I have been interested in getting rid of the cyclops effect since I bought my 04 1000RR. Unfortunately I am not good with PayPal and I have a bit of trouble reading foreign languages. Anyone else distribute this module???
