are my lights working correctly? - sc0ttie - 07-03-15
[smg id=2471 type=preview align=center caption="headlights"]
As a new owner of a FZS600 Fazer and having been away from motorcycles for quite a few years, I am wondering if anyone can look at an image i created of my Fazer's lights as I am not sure if when using headlight, 2 lights should be on or one? I have taken a photo of each setting of the headlights, so is it normal to have only one main light on and a small side light for riding or has my bulb blown? I looked at the bulb today and it looked ok. But just thought I would ask to save me further worries about it?

I know it looks daft but photos are right. There is a mod in which you can do to have both lights lit on the main beam.

All I need to do tomorrow is get a bulb for the missing one in the taillight and i will be sorted for lights

It does not alter anything on main beam. It makes quite an improvement if you ride in the dark on dip. Changes a very poor light to just a poor light

Sorry, that's what I meant :\

But the dip light in the old full beam once mod done is ---or looks brighter as it is pointing more into the road as opposed to into the kerb like the OEM one dip

What does the mod involve, it is a very technical process?

the mod is adding another wire to the plug of the right bulb but theyre still shockingly bad!!
try this!!

Here you go Scottie
Should take you 30 mins with the correct headlight plugs - don't forget the lamp upgrade to Osram Nightbreakers or Philips Extreme.

Because im just like that----------- I added an in line fuse for the MOT, whip the fuse out and you got OEM lights for the correct beam alignment
