two low beam head lights
« on: March 01, 2011, 12:34:29 AM »
Since my dealer is 1 month late in getting the manual to me...is there supposed to be two lights on for the low beams?  Is it a PITA to replace the bulbs?

thanks

Nope, just one lo-beam.  Other bulb is hi-beam.

Is there a mod then, because when I turn high beams on I have two high beams?  Or are they crazy eyed

You don't have two high beams, you have both the lo-beam & the hi-beam on.

The left bulb is a 9006 lo-beam.
The right bulb is a 9005 hi-beam.

I suppose the previous owner could have wrenched a 9006 bulb in the lo-beam socket.... but I doubt it.

Low beam is on the left side and stays on all the time.... High beam is on the right side and only comes on when the high-beam switch is activated (and/or in the case of my bike when the the flash-to-pass button is pressed)
