Had my 2004 gen 1 from new and both lamps are on when on dipped beam. No problem so far with MOTs but next one is in august! I have always thought my beam just goes up and down rather than up and right ( and therefore down and left ) but maybe my eyesight is crap or I am always too close to the wall I am using? Never really use full beam on the road as not out much at proper night time on unlit roads.
you can adjust the throw of the light however, but it's definately both dipped.............funny because last year she failed as only 1 was working!
I have a 2002 Foxeye , both lights are on when dipped and obviously brighter on high beam , did you use the same garage for previous MOT , perhaps try another garage .
Twin headlamp systems:On twin headlamp systems only one or both headlamps may need to be illuminated for either dipped or main beam. Each headlamp that can be illuminated on dipped beam must meet the requirement for dipped beam headlamps. Twin headlamps must be mounted either one above the other or symmetrically without regard to any sidecar and not more than 200mm apart measured from the edge of the reflecting surface. The tester should advise if both headlights should illuminate for eitherfunction and only one does so.
Have a closer look at the lights, I just did on mine and the left hand light (clutch side) has two arrows one above the E13 marking and one to the side of it both pointing to the left But the right hand (throttle side) has the two arrows pointing in different directions one to the left and one to the right.
What is the under seat code?
