What are the problems that I might run into if I put a dual lighting system ( high/low on both) on my 05 CBR. Wil it need voltage increase. Will drain voltage and loose power.

 

Do a site search. This has been discussed quite a bit, lots of information is out there on this and other options.

 

It's not hard to do, all you need is a 12v relay and the new headlight sockets or the new wires to go in the old sockets. Oh and the new bulbs too. There are some detailed posts on it. I just did mine a month ago.

 

Tried to do a search. I didn't get anything. Where would I look or search. So it doesn't really draw more juice or cut power

 

Here is a little logic on the situation...........and if this isn't the reason you're installing a dual-filament bulb, then ignore it...........

Usually, the main reason people want to put dual-filament bulbs in the CBR's is because they don't like the fact that the low beam is on the left and high beam is on the right. But, what most people overlook is the fact that it's NOT the bulb that makes the high beam "bright" it's the way the beam reflector is designed.

The bulbs are EXACTLY the same on the low beam and high beams. They're just regular 55w H7 bulbs. The right side (high beam) headlight is designed so it scatters the light higher and further than the low beam.......which is the reason why it looks "brighter" than the low beam.

The easiest method is to just flip the high beam switch on, and adjust the high beam headlight so the beam is a little lower than the low beam.

But then people ask "if I do that, what about my need for a high beam". Well, even if you do put in a dual-filament bulb, your beam is still lowered, so the only thing that will happen is the light will become brighter, but only brighter in front of you, not further out (which is the purpose of a high beam in the first place).

So then people say "I'm going to leave the adjustment alone, but just add a dual-filament bulb". Well, even if you keep the high beam the same height, you are now back at the same problem as before.........because the bulbs have nothing to do with the high beam being "bright"........it's the reflectors.

The easiest method it to adjust the high-beam so the beam is matched up with the low beam's beam. And if you really do need a high beam, keep a small philips screwdriver with you under the rear seat area to make on-the-fly adjustments. If you drive in the city, you really won't have a need for high beams.

But, this is my two cents. And again, this is just a short explanation for people who didn't know. I didn't mean it as a rant or anything.
