I've just done this, [URL]http://www.geocities.com/hondaf1sport/[/URL] whaddya think?
In uk.rec.motorcycles, hondaguy amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: I think you should wire it so the other one comes on main as well.
Smells like faintly of spam, but it's not to blatent. I do wonder about the "if you can change a bulb" and the "fit it in 10 mins" claim. My bike is wired up properly from the factory, but if it wasn't there's no way you'd fit it in 10 minutes. If it involves changing the front headlights then 2 hours maybe.
ok, I didnt make it that clear, you're only changing the bulbs [the new electrics are in replacement set], and then run a wire between the two connector blocks, it really does only take [me] 10 mins, but i've had to do it a fair few times to get it right, seriously, it shouldnt take anyone much longer if they are happy to change the bulbs themselves
the reflector shells have the same focus point, you can't have a main and a dipped beam in focus coming out of the same shell - having said that, i'm still thinking about it

In uk.rec.motorcycles, hondaguy amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: I didn't mean have the dipped and main on at the same time. It looks like you've done a mod that allows one dipped and one main to be on. Why not have it so just dipped or just main are on? If it's as easy as running a wire like you say, it wouldn't be a hard job at all. I've had 6 lights on the front of my bike at one time and I've managed to have them wired up right. You could just get yourself a H4 block and stick it in your LHS shell. Not a difficult job and even I could can do it.
No, the point I was making was that to get the bulbs out of the Daytona requires you taking the front fairing off, which requires you take the wing mirrors and other gubbins off, and getting it all back on again is trickier than lunging wildly at the pope[1]. From other tailes of headlight bulb swappery on here not all bikes are terribly easy to swap the bulbs on. [1] Thanks to Bill Bailey for this wonderful mental image.
"Whinging Courier" < ok, there are two reflector shells on the bike, one is angled for dipped, one for main, they each have one focus point, so, a fitted bulb, when in focus, will either be dipped or main. The bike from the factory comes with a single filament bulb in each shell, so riding in daylight on dipped, you only have one shell/bulb/light on, making the bike appear lopsided, or that you have a blown bulb. The kit lights the main beam shell when your riding on dipped, evening up the appearance of the bike. The bike is already fitted with H4 blocks, but the factory fits H7 bulbs. Honda made the 1000s lights look lots better.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, hondaguy amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: Right, I'm with you now. So are you saying that you're riding with main and dipped on? Have you tried fitting H4 bulbs, just to see what the beam pattern will look like? I must admit those "one light on" arrangements are a stupid idea.

Honda NSR125, what a motherfucking cuntsucker that it to change headlight bulbs on. And it seems to blow them regularly.
