Curvy lights in Europe
 
My european curvy (still on the continent) has one light for dipped with the second coming on for main beam. Is this the same or not the same as UK bikes?

And can I make boith come on on dipped or would I have to make a load of changes? Not that I really care as I don't ride much at night! But interested all the same.

No.

Both lights on all the time on a UK spec.

Sorry about the crap quality (Nokia phone on p*ss poor lighting), but take a look at the lenses please. This is what I meant when I said assymetrical. Are UK ones like this too? :?

Liek I said, no. You have one projector, one plain. We have 2 plain :( I wonder if it could be rebuilt to dip to the left?

Don't know about that, but I surely wouldn't mind mine being symetrical, both lights on at the same time, but with good quality! I have neither atm... Dipped work ok in town where you only need them to be seen, main beam really s*cks. Might be tempted to take a look at some of the better bulbs mentioned here, I guess...

One thing I noticed though, as they really are bright, sometimes depending on the "newness" of some large road signs, the light reflected back is really intense so I dont tend to look at the sign for too long !

Ref the current drain, nope, had no problems in the 2 years that hey have been fitted.

As I said, they really do make a big difference
:)
Thanks Scooby!

Anyone know of/used the new type LED front bulbs ?, I read somewhere they are trying/have made these Road Legal :?

(Sorry to sidetrack the subject, again)

I can concur on this point they are excellent and having the blue tinge (and me wearing a dayglo hi vis ) I did have a few cars braking and pulling over, especially if the road was a tad bumpy (methinks i was mistaken for our boys in blue)

tee hee it is true :lol: :lol:

You could rework them to do that i think. The projector ought to take a retrofit HID lamp without all the downsides you get from HID in a normal halogen headlight- the reflector maths are similiar. And you could, I'm sure, convert the other one to take a 60/55W H4 halogen dual filament with dip and main. Obviously the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but that'd potentially be a headlight setup to be jealous of.
