How is this a question about HID (High Intensity Discharge) Lights?

Anytime it's light I ride with highbeams for safety. At night I only run the low so as not to blind other drivers.

If you are asking about running both lights at the same time but still retaining high beams, then search for H4 conversion. The drawback is your reflectors are not designed for this and you will not get a sharp cutoff. This will result in blinding other drivers.

My solution when they tell me I have a light out is to flash the high beam and they feel stupid.

If you truly were iquiring about HID's they require a complete retrofit. You have to open the assembly and replace the reflectors with HID Projectors. If you want both running at the same time, then you will need Bi-Xenon HID's and do some rewiring so that you don't fry your harness when the lights warm up.

great, I am sorry i just don't want the freakin one lamp
by itself and the highbeam is a HJighbean so it doesn't look like
the low beam. I want BOTH on at the same time and look the same.
So when i turn my bike on, Both lights will be on
And when I click the High Beam Switch BOTH will be on high beam.
And yea Angel eye's has anyone heard of these for our bikes?
I hope i explained my self better this time

There are kits that are plug and play, and no they will not fry anything. They use less power and are way brighter. I got mine off ebay and only took about 20 minutes to install.

Isn't that illegal Jasonb? Driving around with your brights on all the time at night? I heard that cops can pull you over for it around here in WI.

You need to buy another headlight assembly. Take the low beam reflector out, install that in place of your high beam reflector. Put the assembly back together. Then do a H4 conversion so you have two dual filament bulbs both switched with the high beam switch. There are ton's of tutorials on how to do this. This is about the only way to legally do it.

If you slap a H4 bulb into the stock High beam reflector the beam will not be aligned correctly and you will bling other drivers/police cars and probably end up with a ticket.

OR you could do like 99% of us do and ride with your high beam on except at night. It's also fun to make people feel stupid when they try to convince you that you have a headlight out.

Check eBay for the illuminated computer fans. Yank the ring out and install it in your lights. Theny come in all colors and are stupid bright. I thought about it, then realized I don't ride around with my headlights off.
