headlight Question curvy - SV650.org

Quiff Wichard · 27-04-07, 07:20 AM

can the bike be wired so that only one main light comes on with the sidelight >> ??

I kinda liek the look of one light .. so could the front small light in centre be wired to one of the main lights? or even bypass that small lightand just have one main one on with those wires.
or would it mess up the circuit etc

You could do it if you like - take the connector off of the back of the bulb that you don't wish lit and remove from it the relevant wire, you could arrange it such that one were on for low beam and either the other or both for high beam.

Why?

Half the lamps = half the light = half as safe IMO.

The curvey lights are poor enough for night driving, don't you think?

plus ......... other bikes that have this look silly, or as if one of the bulbs has blown IMO

My bike only has one dipped beam lit and I am constantly getting people telling me a bulb has blown. I also notice that people who own bikes with this format are asking the exact opposite to you Quiff. "Can you have both lights on dip". Can't please all the people all the time.
