Well this is just an idea but maybe someone whos a little more electronically inclined can tell me if this is possible. Would it be possible to replace the low beam with a high beam bulb that matches of course and have them both wired to light up for low beams but install a couple resistors so that they run at say 50% or whatever would be equivalent to lows and when you turn on the highs they both run at pull power? Im just tryin to think of an answer to having uneven lit headlights.

Yeah what i was gettin at is when your highs are on you still have one bright one and a low one but its no reall biggie lol just an idea. Also couldnt the headlgiths be adjusted to be even. Havent really looked at the bike too hard so sorry bout all the questions.

I tried to do it with 100 Watt bulbs in each side, and putting resistors in to make them run at 55Watts. But the resistors got way too hot. If you do it similar to the right up with 55 watts bulbs you will get close to the effect you are looking for.

I run with my hi beams on all the time now since I had officer friendly pull me over earlier this year because he said I had a headlight out. LMAO
This is exactly why I run both lights all the time day or night. I don't need any hassle from the cops. I plan on adjusting mine to meet as level as possible too.
