Headlight - 3/6/2008 2:54:35 AM

Hey i was just wondering.... As you will know, when it comes to your headlights, one side is lowbeam and the other side is highbeam. And everyone who has seen my bike has said 'Hey you've got a bulb out'.

Is there a way of modifying the headlights so that both sides are lit when lowbeam is on, rather than it lookin odd like it does?

In the UK the right hand side is the low beam that is constantly on and the lift side is the High beam that makes it look like i have a bulb out... I would have thought it was the opposite way round in the US. But anyways i'd like to change that about the bike so any helpful feedback would be much appreciated

Thanks

I have considered that but i think it would irritate other road users unless there is a way to dip the low beam so i'm not blinding people and causing accidents

I ride with my highs on all the time too....I'd rather annoy somebody than have them not see me.

I adjusted my high beam down and raised my low beam a tad to match, ride with both on full time. Make note of how many turns you make with each in case you want to revert.

If you adjust your high beam down, remember the high beam comes down alot. I adjusted my low beam up two full turns. Easyest way to do it is get close to a wall with lights on an adjust them til they are even. Don't bring the low one up too much or you'll have two brite ass lites. Don't forget to write down the amount you've adjusted.

I have a headlight modulator, and I ride with the high beam on. With my setup, the low beam stays on solid, and at the same time, it appears that the high beam is blinking. People see me. I had a guy in traffic tell me my headlight was blinking the other day. Sweet.
