These kits are easy to install and at a reasonable price to. Great look to the bike and Peole don't stop you telling you that you have a headlight out either.

 

who?me?[sm=grinangel.gif]

 

forgive my ignorance.... One light is low beam and one is high? so its either one or the other when its on? so these kits let you use both lights all the time? that makes sense.....

 

u-huh you are correct sir, this kit allows for two highs and two lows

 

My kits got mentioned in SportRider Magazine.

This is what one of my customers wrote in to them:

Q: "I am wondering why some of these sportbikes that have dual headlamps only use one headlamp for low beams? It seems that everything about riding leans toward safety, yet these bikes are sold with two headlamps, utilizing only one for low beams. Why not both? I have an o5 ZX10R that I modified with a dual-headlight kit that gives me two low beams and two high's with upgraded bulbs. This setup makes a huge difference in visibility. Automobiles use both head-lights, not just one for lows. Why are bikes different?"
Jason Padilla, Albuquerque, NM. (One of my customers )

A: "The reason is because many manufacturers have moved to the brighter, more efficient H9 bulbs, which use a single filament. Headlamps that are able to switch from low to high beam with the same bulb use the older H4 design, which has two filaments. Making a reflector to work with botha high and low beam requiresdesign compromisesto accomodate both. Because the reflector plays a huge role in the beam pattern that lights up the area in front of the bike. If the reflector can't spread the beampattern properly, then you end up with a patchy light pattern that's often worse than before(in a basic sense, one of the reasons why attempting to retrofit an HID bulb in an H4 or H9 housing doesn't work properly). Forming seperate reflectors for high and low beam allows the manufacturers to properly desight them specifically for each beam.
The reason yo think that you now have a "hge difference in visibility" is because you're using the high beam reflector in addition to low beam with your "dual-headlight kit'" and most likely you're blinding oncoming traffic. And for your information, nearly all automobiles made today have seperate headlamps for low andhigh beam. -Ed. SR"

Well, here's my take on this:
The editor doesn't realize that these H4Xenon bulbs (stock wattage of 55/60 watt)I'm using are far brighter than the stock ones and when the low beams are on, the high beams are off and vice versa. Also, after installation of the kit,the RH high beam side reflector get adjusted down to match the low beam height so the oncoming drivers arent blinded. If adjusted correctly, there is no compromise in the beam pattern. That is how they alwaysdid it with H4 bulbs & reflectorsuntil just recently.

Any input/ comments?

 

Are you the only person making these kits? If i had a zx or something i would be doing the mod too.... its a great idea, and what your saying makes sense. Good thinkin man.

 

Speed I agree with you totally. I have used your kit and once installed I wnet over to friends and asked them if I where behind their car with the low beams on if it was blinding, This was daytime and night time. In both cases none of my friends said that the headlights where blinding. I think this editor needs to take a look for himself as well as do some spell checking beofre making his statements.

 

I just ordered a kit... FULLY can't wait till it comes!

 

I want to get that kit but I need to get a new head light housing first. The mount tabs on mine have broken off. Every fix I have tried has failed. Once I get a new housing I'll get that kit.

 

Hey Az, send me your old headlight and I'll send you a kit.
