I have a 2003 CBR600RR and I hate the fact that during low beam, we only have one headlight on. It makes the bike look like it has a head light out. So, I created a safe way to run dual filament bulbs with with no additional amp draw on the factory wiring. During low beam I have two headlights burning and they dont blind on coming traffic. Hit the factory switch and I have two high beam headlights burning and they could blind the heck out of on coming traffic. My kit requires no modification to the bulb's socket in the headlight assembly, no cutting of factory wires and no mods to the factory switch. You will have to remove some body panels to install but its easy. I've received alot of interest and compliments from my fellow riders on how well it turned out. I'm just a guy who knows a thing or two about wiring and I can build a kit for anyone who is interested. Contact me at...

Same here, Can't really see too well at night. I hate it when people say" you have a headlight out".

I didn't see this one but I will respond: as happy as it would be for the one-light-wonders to be completely alit ... it is most certainly unfair to the paying sponsors of this site to allow someone to vend without sponsoring. So when 2hi2lo decides to sponsor us we'll set up a nice banner and contact info and the whole 9 yards.

There is an intrinsic problem with going 2 low beams though -- the hi beam on your bikes is different than the low in that the mirrored area distributes the light differently than the low beam. A two filament bulb may resemble a traditional two bulb setup but I'm dubious of the actual results.

Another problem is that you're always gonna draw extra power (110W vs. 55W). The stators on our bikes are not what you'd call powerhouses of energy. They're made light to keep down rotational mass and weight.

I agree.This guy is just using this forum for free advertisment. This forum is for free advise to members who post and support the forum. I think an administrator should remove the post all together.
