If you have two headlights, wouldn't one be low beam and one be high beam? I'm not really understanding this problem because the high beam switch left on all the time would be an easy solution to keeping them both on. Care to elaborate if this isn't the case?

And one more +... for sure at least during the daytime (highbeams being less offensive during the daylight hours....)

I keep both on all the time as well.

It's not the bulbs that make them high/low beams (the bulbs are the exact same H7 bulbs). The lens reflector in each headlight is different. The lowbeam scatters light in a line-pattern across the road, the high beam is designed to throw the light further out.

Just ride with both low and high beams on during the day (it's much safer, and people see you), and turn it to the low beam at night (or adjust the high beam down so you don't blind people, but even then, it'll still appear brighter than the other one).

I keep a small, philips screwdriver in my rear seat compartment so I can adjust my headlights on the fly, depending on where I'm going. If I'm taking a non-lit road out to the country some where, I adjust my headlights higher. If I'm in the city, I usually adjust them a bit lower.........just depends.
