You're gonna need to do some rewiring and dual filament bulbs to get the headlights working how you want. Do a search and you'll find a write up or two on it.

As for posting pics, you're probably trying to put up pics that are too big. Either trim them down or you'll have to put up a link to an album.

Did you do your search on how to do this? I got pulled over tonight for having a headlight out, when the cop got to me I showed him that it was the bright light? He felt stupid, but I am happy that I was not drinking.

Isn't it illegal to have both lights on when in heavy traffic?

depends on your states law but most no. only at night when traffic is comming toward you or you are following another auto. I belive they give you a distance as well.

I don't know about you guys, but I always ride with both lights on highbeam, when it gets dark out. I want to make sure I see, as well as be seen by others, and it works great. I haven't had a cop pull me over for having my brights on. Cars don't know that I have my high beams on either. If they did, they would be flashing me their light or the finger, so its all good here. Thats how I roll...

That one light business is a European thing, huge in Europe. I guess North Americans are **** about the one light. Oh well to each their own.

I'll have to agree. I always ride with the high beam on at night. I'm way more worried about me being able to see and be seen than whether or not the car ahead of me is irritated. I've never had a problem though. No blinks, no horns, no fingers, no cops. Just being safe.

It's recommend to drive with high beams during the day and low beams at night...you got to remember, some drivers act like moths going to your porch light...it's like some weird target fixation.

Personally, I stay alert and just use the low beams all the time (not recommended)...I can literally count the times I've used the high beams in three years on one hand...no joke...and I ride at all times of the day and night.
