Headlight question

[canucklovingbrit]

I want to have both headlights on for daylight riding, but I want them to look identical (probably both low beams as I rarely ride at night.) Is it just the lenses that are different between low & high beam on the Firebolt? If so, can the lenses be bought separately, or would I have to buy the whole light unit? Thanks.

I've found that if beam switch is right between high / low, both lights are on, no mods to do. I don't care what they look like, just so I'm seen.

both lights will be on, but the low beam projector has what is called a "cut-off." This is a curved metal piece inside the projector that only allows the headlight to shine down low (low on left for oncoming traffic, higher on right for signs).
Here is an example:

If you removed the curved piece from inside the projector, they will look even. It will be like having two high beams.

Don't do it. It's not worth blinding oncoming traffic for the sake of symetry. my 2 cents

I don't want to dazzle oncoming drivers by having two high beams. Maybe rather than remove the curved piece from the low beam light, I could fabricate something similar to put into the high beam light. I haven't attempted to get inside the lights yet. Is this a tricky process? Thanks again for all replies.

very easy to remove and open. Maybe you could get one from someone that has removed it from theirs. It would not be a very easy piece to duplicate.

Hey Stangxb12r ... can you drop me an e-mail so we can discuss? [email protected] - appreciate it.
