well i've got an F2 but I have the f4i front end on it... the only way to get a true dual low beam is if you were to find a busted headlight(fleabay) for cheap and seperate your headlight and replace the high beam reflector with the low beam. So it can be done, hard part is finding the cheap busted headlight. I've seen them go for like $20 with cracked lens

I am going to just try to reaim it and see how it goes. Worst case scenario, I aim it back to where it should be and run with a switchable high beam instead.

I will be sure to post lots of pics and maybe some video, though unfortunately I can't get any before shots because my bike is back home and the assembly is with me. I brought it along so I could do the headlight swap while I was up here painting the plastics and working on the cage.

That would be great! I didn't have time to do my HID kit tonight anyway. Still not finished with the engine swap... hit a few snags!

I am starting to get itchy about getting this car done, the weather here has finally been good and the plastics are totally SICK!!!! I am really stoked about how they turned out!

This guy did the dual headlight mod with Hi/Lo.
Although most people in the attached thread had problems with theirs after awhile so I am not recommending this at all just found it where the youtube guy did his so I thought I would post it.

Ok, I have pics on my phone, i'll upload them tonight. I WAS successful in lowering the Hi beam side to the same level as the Lo, with plenty more room to adjust lower. I have before and after pics, and I don't see any problems with running them like this at all. The only question I would have is, are the actual light bulbs different, or would something in the Hi beam bulb prevent it from being on at all times?

The actual bulbs are identical.
I run my hi beams all day and turn them off at night.
So I have had them running for hours at a time if thats what your askin.
