Re: RE :Headlights



I'll have to confirm that! The left lens is cut for full beam use and the
right for half beam use. What I have done is connected the right side, half
beam lens, so that it'll be on, on for both half and whole beams. The left I
left, high beam lens, alone because you can't have it on at the same time as
the low beam, right side lens. I've tried and it just doesn't work. All the
people you meet flash you to turn off your high beams. When behind a car, I
was lighting up the whole interior of the car. It was a great map light
though!

>Welcome to the listing, funnily enough, that was my first question when I
joined the listing last month. As Tim says, it's because the Eurocrats need
to invent new laws to justify their jobs. As Tim also states, a quick mod
can get both lights working again. However, I was talking to the mechanic
yesterday when I took mine in for the 500 mile service. He said that the
headlight conversion could be done but pointed out the headlight lenses to
me. If you look at the dipped lens you will see that it has a patterned area
to create the dipped beam whereas the "main" lens is clear to give an
unobstructed beam. If you have the dipped filament working in the main light
you will have more light but the result will be that you will blind the
traffic coming towards you. Now I've no problem with that normally but it
could lead to a rider getting totalled by an oncoming driver who'll say
"Sorry officer, but I was blinded by his headlights". Could anyone with a
'99 bike confirm that both le!
