Whats the chance of this mod working on a 2012 fazer8
Works on a Fazer 800 and is the correct way of going about it using the green wire from the headlight switch.
I paid good money for a service manual for the 800SA rather than the FZ8N manual available as a download from the downloads section. (different headlight set up using the single unit on the naked version)
You'll better understand with the SA wiring diagram in front of you but ultimately it is fused through the main headlamp fuse and uses the existing relay to do the job. In addition it will prevent you overheating the H4 bulb and your reflector by preventing both filaments within the bulb being used at the same time and your wiring loom in general although as previously mentioned the headlamp circuitry is good for 240W theoretically.
Other threads/forums suggest having a completely separate circuit and installing another relay to prevent excessive load on the headlight switch itself but thats BS as the switch already takes the load of the main beam which is of a higher wattage rating and therefore will take the load of dipped beam.
Hope this clarifies the issue.
