Default Looking for dual running add on headlights for klx250sf

I'll be commuting after dark and want to beef up my headlight. I'm replacing the H4 headlight with the PIAA Extreme White Anti-Vibration lamp, but I'd like to add dual running headlamps as well. Any suggestions

You can always add a bridging wire so both the dip and main beam are on at the same time.

I've done a few searches, mostly for baja style headlights. There are several models out there that will fit the bike but most are well over $400.00. If you just want to stay stock up upgrade I did find a HID kit that will fit our bikes. SLIM HID

I'd caution that mod, i've heard of others blowing the main fuse from overcurrent with both on at the same time. If you go HID then that may not be a problem since they are much brighter and don't draw as much current.

Cheers,
Anthony

I used to get people turning infront of me and cutting me off all the time until I installed my HID. It may help some that I run the high beam whenever the sun is out though. Works really good on the freeway and when I'm splitting lanes too, they really see me coming. I did have to adjust the beam throw because it is different than the stock halogen.

If your goal is to add light to see better, and not just add bling, the PIAA Extreme White is complete waste of money. They advertise a lot but products do not deliver.

Easiest way to add more light is to convert the stock headlight to HID bulb. A read HID with ballast and all, not some "extreme blue HID kindofa bulb".
It is illegal to do that but most people & cops don't care.
