Dual headlights? Anyone figure a solution to have both headlights work at the same time (either for high or low beams)?
Bit annoying to have people tell me one headlight is out LOL.

Well all I can say is want in one hand and you know what in the other.
Individual reflectors are unique to the low beam and the high beam so putting a dual filament bulb in there will be non-functional but acheive the cosmetic quality you desire.

I think we figured out it would boil down to fabricating a means to install different sockets for the dual element bulbs required. And then the beam focus would come into question. There is a particular relationship between the position of the bulb elements relative to the reflector. If someone figures all that out, my hat's off to them.

Thanks; will give some thought. I am an Electrical Engineer who tries not to reinvent the wheel when not needed.
Maybe end product would be a comprimize of beam position accomodating for both high and low beams; a happy medium if practical/possible.
I suppose having one light (for each low and high beam) is more real world for a track race bike; if thats the worst then ZX-10R is still great..... (of course).
Love my ZX-10R anyways. (both high and low beam on now seems like the bike has pink eye). oh well.
Have fun;stay alive..

could we install a higher wattage low beam to match the high beam?...how about an 65w/85w low beam with an 85w high beam?...run high beam all the time for symetry...less pink eye that way...is this possible?
