Default high beams

Do any of you guys ride with high beams on at night. Is it a liitle too blinding for other drivers on the road?

Get one of my Dual headlight kits or follow the DIY instructions.

On the '06 both bulbs are the same brigthness but the low beam has a reflector covering the front of the bulb which blocks it and makes it less bright then the high beam side. Is there an easy way to take this off so I can go with the dual mod? Is there a lower watt bulb like a 35w that I can stick in the high beam side so it's not so bright?

Not at night for me, it is to distracti ng to the other motorist on the raod and CHP can and will site you for it.

During the day and sirting traffic I run the high beam.

highbeams in the day low beams at night i dont want to be blindning the people coming at me if ya know what i mean the purpose of running highbeams during the day is to make yourself more visible but at night the lowbeams are perfectly visible

guess my adjustment to mine during the conversion worked because i have never been flashed at night by another driver.
