Regardless of how bad the reflectors are, two brighter LED bulbs in Dim mode are going to be better than one.
No. LEDs produce a lot more light, turning a poor reflector into a reasonable one. Better still do a projector lens conversion with LEDs. Headlights are the biggest weakness of the boxeye, why Yamaha chose to fit H1/H4 high beam only is a mystery, the 400 has 2 H4s in both lenses, they work at the same time for low/high beam.
