Dual Headlights

Will switching wires to burn both high/low beams simultaneously damage charging system?

 

[user_deleted]

no. many of us have done it and if you're charging system is up to snuff it won't hurt a thing.

It could, like with me, melt the plastic connector (housing). Other then that it wont do any harm.

I spliced my high beam into the low so that when bike is warming up I can switch the lights off by turning it to high beam.

Low beam side both are on. I did this mod before I had even found this site or the correct procedure.

I've never blown a fuse or had anything to melt. Not to say that couldn't happen.

I did it like 3 years and 20,000 miles ago.

iv tried the mod twice and both times within 30 minutes my battery no longer has enough juice to start...my battery works fine any other time i have left it in the cold for weeks without a start and it always starts just fine...what may be wrong with the bike

 

[thrstrmech]

done it twice and failed twice...bulbs and battery were fine on both occasions, have '03 Lightning if it matters any

My son had a CityX and thought that the conversion led to that bike's stator to fail. Maybe just a coincidence...IDK. I've done the change 3 or 4 different times on 2 bikes with no ill effects. KOW!

i have an 03 as well

Have '07 Uly no problems w/ mod.

No problems on my '03 when I did it with stock headlights, I switched it back when I was diagnosing a problem with my HIDs.

I've had mine with HIDS for about 2000 miles with no problems.

I have a 07 xb12s no problems here other than when I'm tuning I can't kill the headlights. Even if I pull the headlight fuse at least one is on.

 

[neilrl79]

The HID problem I had was unrelated to the dual headlights mod, I just changed it back to eliminate it from the equation.

I've done it on 3 Buells and have zero issues. My current one was done in December 08 and almost 16,000 miles later still no issues.
