This time next year Rodders..................................

Ok Tried Mitch's wiring mod, by way of Hartbeats post. Switched the pins in the connector. Worked for a couple of minutes then blew the accessory fuse.

I would like to try Mitch's other suggestion of running a fresh feed and switching it with a relay. However in the mean time I changed the lamps as suggested by CJ. When I got to Halfords they had some H7 lamps that they claimed had a 90% increase in light output for the same current (wattage). So I gave them a go. Really pleased with the result.

Still on a 2 for 1 offer so a £24 not a bad upgrade.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Devenbob (or anyone else)

Given that:
1) I spend 90+% of my time on dipped beam only, and
2)I'm a skinflint,

is there any real need to change both bulbs, or could I just change the dipped beam one?

Cheers,

Dave

You could be right. I have to do a few country lanes on the way home from work so I needed both. Really pleased withe the result.

I've just upgraded my GS to HID. Couple of photos comparing to my Buell...
