tcmalker's dual headlight mod

[MagicMANX]

I'll be doing the tcmalker mod today, and will provide my feedback in a weeks time, at least this will get rid of the "your headlight is off" talk, its getting kind of irritating lol damn Yamaha

Cheers

Well, did the mod on the parking of work and on the drive home, with the lights in the city there is not that much of a difference... but I prefer to have it like this, here are some pictures:

I'll keep with this for a while and see how it goes, so far it looks nice, kind of a BUG face lol

Did this mod a few weeks back. Hi-beam side headlight burned out this weekend... Coincidence? Remains to be seen.

pretty sure it had nothing with tcmalker's mod. tcmalker has many, many satisfied customers.

rino60 finds two problems with this... tcmalker does not have any customers. tcmalker has not provided a measurable service or a product. rino60 appreciates the idea behind the mod, for those with two headlights. But rino60 is mainly just nitpicking, as he only really had one point. Which, while implied, is probably obvious by now...

As of today, there are at least 21 happy and satisfied customers using tcmalker's mod. rino60 is just upset that he won't be able to watch Part I. rino60 can thank The Dude for that.

I know very little about electrical systems, but is it possible that running hi-beam current to a low-beam filament could shorten the life of the bulb?

No. It's the same voltage and current. It was just time for that lamp to go.

0 'customers' in the literal sense. But yes. We want the video.
