hey everyone i am new and this has already come up and if it has forgive me for asking is there any way to make both my headlights work on low beam for my07 600rr

 

there are many posts about this.

the only solution as far as I know is aim your high beam down some and ride around with your high beams on all the time, since that turns both lights on

 

your high beam is a more focused beam of light. if you just want both lights on 24/7, just leave it on high. you'll be doing yourself a huge favor.

 

whats up? I just joined up too. Got mine yesterday, red 07 1000 aka Rosey.
I hear you, the one burned out look isn't going to make it. I'm going to search around in here before I try anything. But I'm thinking you could find a double filament bulb that will fit in the high beam hole&jump the current of the low beam.
Rolling it with the high beams is how it's going down for now.

 

you guys have a very poor understanding of the headlight system on the RRs. the "High Beam" Comes from the reflector array and the way it's shaped. both lamps are exactly the same. both harness provide 12V of DC current. nothing you can do will change that. run the bike with the highs and you'll be fine. it's a stupid thing to worry about.

 

I agree with Knightslugger's post above.

Both the high beam and low beams bulbs are the EXACT SAME H7, 55w bulb. There are NO differences between these bulbs. If you don't believe me, swap them out and see if you can tell a difference.

What is different is the reflector (the shiny part of the headlamp) This reflector is what gives you light on the road. These reflectors are engineered in a way to distribute light on the road in any given pattern. For instance, the low beam reflector gives you an even, horizontal beam of light scattered evenly throughout the road surface. The high beam reflector is engineered in a way to "throw" the light further than the low beam. So the two reflectors are engineered completely different for two completely different purposes.

Now, about the whole "dual filament" thing. No. It doesn't work. Why? First off, the headlamp housing isn't designed to be used with a dual-filament bulb. It all goes back to how the reflector was designed to be used. If it was designed to use a dual filament bulb, then it would use one. But it wasn't, it was designed to be used with the H7 bulb, and that's what has to be used. Plain and simple.

During the day, you should be riding around with the high beams on anyway (I believe the MSF course teaches that.) And at night, ride around with the low beams on (or adjust the high beams down and ride around with it too, your choice).

Don't mean to spoil the "well, maybe you could....." suggestions. The headlamps are what they are, and can't be changed (at least, not in a positive way.) If you want a MASSIVE improvement visibility, then I would suggest ordering an HID conversion kit.

 

Its like the DLP commercials.......... its the mirrors. Nough said!!!!

 

Ya I didn'think that one through to good.
I thought the high beam was done like in a two headlight car.
Looks like I'm changeing it's nick name to Popeye& rolling with the high beams
