What About A DUAL HIGH BEAM ?

[FireNetSales]

I Was Thinking About Replacing My Low Beam Headlight With A High Beam! Then I Would Always Have One High Beam During Day And 2x High Beams During Night! Anyone Ever Done This? Thanks

Doesnt work that way, both housings use the same size bulb same watt. It becomes a high beam with a deferent reflector pattern on the high and low beam on the Lightning, and the a cut off spoon on a Firebolt.

I removed the spoon in the low beam on my firebolt and am running two "high beams". Like said above, the spoon is the only difference.

Don't By Any Chance Have Any Pictures Of Your Process Do You? Thanks

Get in there it is pretty obvious and easy!

I put a spoon in the high beam so I have 2 low beams. Much better light on the road and less blinding oncoming traffic on 2 lane roads at night. Be safe out there!

Works wonders [up][up]

Not to be a dick but that seems counter productive?? The flashlight on my cellphone honest to god provides more light than our dims. I find it difficult to even tell the dims are on during a sunshiney day. I would personally think it would be safer for both parties for me to have brighter lights and make sure I am seen.

-Remove front fairing, remove lower two Allen wrench bolts from windshield and mirrors
-Remove bright light housing using medium sized Phillips screwdriver
-Remove front of housing, may need slightly smaller Phillips
-Remove nasty looking metal plate using a small Phillips
-Place metal plate in pocket. Use as shank or vegetable slicer when applicable
-Re-assemble and enjoy a brighter ride [up]

Ill be sure to post a pic at night when I get my bike back together. I have HID's in both holes and one light is angled slighty higher for the bright.

I guess maybe they should only put high beams in vehicles because the low beam doesnt do anything...

Ahh I see. You have HID's which undoubtedly make a difference. I have never had HID's but I heard they make a night and day difference (no pun intended lol)

I do believe my "low" beam is angled slightly lower. But with the plate being located at the bottom half of the housing and the housing being tilted up wouldn't it leave you a significant dark spot right in front of you? Unless your dim picks up the slack? I mean It probably Isnt tilted up enough to make a large enough dark spot but these are just my concerns [confused]

Me personally I would rather have a nice cut off than scattered light going everywhere, I dont do much night riding but my setup has worked awesome the times that I have.

I dont have any dark spots on the road, my old stock halogens were less than a phone flashlight the whole road was a dark spot with them. I think that hids should be one of the first mods done to our bikes, with 2 spoons they arent blinding to oncoming traffic like 2 high beams are.

Incase you dont know drunk drivers are attracted to bright lights, so if it makes you feel safer because you are seen it may mean that you are a target for a drunk driver.
