^god I hate that. I've had so many ppl thought my bike had a broken headlight. Then again, the bike had no plastics and looked like a rat bike. I got pulled once by a cop because of it. I didn't have registration for the bike and I was using the F2 tags. But cbr600 is a cbr600... hehe good thing he didn't know anything bout bikes. I do have a title for the rr.

I just ride with the high beam on all the time. The bulbs are exactly the same. The high beam is just angled differently and has more reflectors in the housing.

I've heard you can turn the angle of the low beam up, and the high beam down, then just run highs on so that they're both on, but not blinding everyone. There's supposedly a screw behind your headlight to do this. Does anyone know where it is exactly? Can you post a pic of it? I have an '05 600RR

I was wondering why they do that to a bike with 2 headlight. I guess because previuosly bike only has one headlight that's why the new bike with 2 headlights(like a car) can only light one headlight. Does anyone know how to turn the light off when u driving it? Or the only way to do it is to cut off the low beam and hit the high beam to make both low and high beam on.

ok not to be mean but apparently you havent played with your bike a lot.. You cant cut the low beam wire and and expect both lights to come on when u hit headlight switch to high beam. U can cut that wire to run with no lights but y.
Hey bikermike, I don't think papi means to actually 'cut' his low beam wire. I think he simply means to not use low beam and only use high beam. That's what it sounds like to me, because as you imply, it would obviously be stupid to run without headlights.
To answer papi's question about the one headlight thing, the reason they do that is so other motorists know that you're a bike. At night if you have both headlights on, because the headlights are so close together, to another driver it looks like a car that's far away, rather than a bike that's actually really close. It's a safety precaution, but I think it's pretty lame.

Thanks bikermike and dragonium25. I didn't mean to actually 'cut' the low beam wire, but to turn it off. You right mike I want the light works like in a car. Where you can turn it on and off. Not turn on the light automatically when I turn the key on the bike. Do you have the link to the thread for the set up that you have on your bike mike?
Thanks again!
