Replace both bulbs with the brightest h7 bulbs you want to put money on. Raise your low beam a couple of turns and lower your high beam until it maches. I leave my highs on all the time. The level of my lights are right below the side mirrors on my wifes Durango from about 5 feet back. I never get flashed and I can see for miles. Only thing that sucks is the blue high beam indicator is bright at night.

I know this has probably been talked about a million times, and there must be tons of How-Tos, but how do I get both my stock headlights to turn on instead of just one? If someone can send me a link to a How-To, that would be great.
yeah a million and one times... and here is how you do it

there is a switch on your left handle bar that has the high low beam switch. if you put it in the "high" position both lights will stay on. this may sound difficult to do so if need be i can do a big "how to" write up.

Just get an HID kit if you are looking for brightness. But it does look cool with both on as low beams. My buddy did the conversion. I will try to get the instructions from him today.

Thanks for all the replies (except for ARay...that was absolutely useless). HID is out for now as I want to do it the right way and maybe get a couple of TSX projectors. Unfortunately, I don't have the money for that right now. I was looking for a way to replace the existing right-side bulb with a dual filament bulb, then lower the headlight a little so that both left and right are level and then wire the headlights in such a way that both left and right turn on as default with the addition of the high beam on the right side bulb (for those dark country roads). Anyone know how to do that.

Hey guys .. if anyone wants to try my idea of putting a low beam reflector on your high beam side, and see if that would work without doing much ..
I have a low beam reflector laying around if anyone wants it ..

Dual Headlight mod is a NO-NO unless you dont mind open up the ignition switch and resolder the connection over again.. I did the mod last year and it draws too much current so one of the connection was broken off and lead to NO HEADLIGHT for me. It took me days before i found the source to that problem and correct it so reconsider before doing it....
This is the link to How-To section, read the whole post first before doing anything...
