high beam low beam
 

so... my bike has twin headlight, only one of them lights up for low beam, both for high beam.

i been using low beam for day time, and high beam for night, but my frd said that i should use high beam during day time because other ppl would see me better, and use low beam at night so i don't blind the driver infront of me?
whats the correct way?

i only use my dual lights at a spirited pace at nite time.
my single beam is HID and produces pretty good light

well, logically, the correct way is to run them like you would your car headlights. low on all the time, high when you need it.


i run high beams on all the time tho. more vis in the day, and honestly the single sided lowbeam blows ass at night.

Now that you've mentioned it, it kind of makes sense to use high beam during day and low beam during night.
Never thought of it that way.

That's what I do as well... and we could be ticketed for it... but hell, my life is worth more than the ticket.

high beams during the day

i run low beam hid all the time.

Adjust the high beam lower and raise the low beam, then you can run both day and night and not worry about blinding drivers.

I used to ride with the high beam at night as well until I rode home behind my girlfriend one night and she tore a strip off me when we got there about how I blinded her. Made me rethink.

I don't rely on high beam to save me.

maybe it's just me, but i think that using the highbeam runs the battery down more quickly.

^ Not with the engine running.

Personally I run dual HIDs (one low, one hi/lo). Even with casper shields and a decent cutoff, they're still crazy bright if you look into the reflector, which is what I want. Too many close calls from inattentive drivers. Stock headlights on bikes are way too dim.
