I am going to be modding my headlight in the near future and it got me wondering. Why is it, that a bike from the mid 90's has better headlights than my 05? Was there some mandate to have the headlight set up this way? I mean, if there are two headlights, why not have them both have lows and highs? Not all bikes are this way either, so whats the deal? give enough light to be safe at night.....

just curious if anyone knows why this is.

 

My 98 900 doesn't have a better headlight than yours I guess.....

 

i lovveeee my 98 900's headlights

 

just so they could laugh when people yell "hey you have a headlight out"

 

I pretty tired answering this question to the people out there actually

 

Get a 90w in it and you'll be amazed!

 

Im pretty sure it does. My 1000RR headlights suck ****. i probably wouldnt notice it as much if I didnt ride with others at night and see the difference. I even have sylvania's silverstar ultra bulbs in .they make a good difference, but not enough.

lol. yeah, Im sick of that too.

 

wow, facepalm....you failz. It's a Honda, signature thing for them. You sound like someone who would come up to me at a gas station and tell me I have a headlight out
