Default 1 headlight or 2 ?

Simple question........ my new to me '01 F4i only runs 1 (the left) headlight on low beam. Both light on HIGH BEAM. Is this correct ? or should they both be lit on the low beam setting.

THANKS.

glad someone brought this up.can you get both headlights to run on low beam at the same time.is there a bulb that will let you do this.today i took off the upper faring and i ran a jumper wire to the high beam light kept the switch off and turned on the key both lights work.now when you turn the high beams on the right bulb will flash but i cant tell if its running on the high beam or not.

you're fine. untill a cop pulls you over for having a headlight out then you have to explain/show him how it works [:@]

why am i always the only one to suggest lowering the aim of the high beam?

If you're like me, and you don't exactly use your high beam for its actualy purpose (flashing someone or seeing farther in a poorly lit road), you won't mind losing it.

Since you're new, look in your manual, and it'll describe how to adjust the aim of your headlights. I simply aimed the high beam down to the ground a little and I can run it both on at night without blinding ppl.

getting HID's will really light up the ground if you ever think about gettin one.

couldn't you just replace the high beam with a regular bulb and leave the high beam switch on? i'll do that to mine if its possible.
