Hi there,
A while ago I did the Motogiro's dual headlight mod, which was extremely easy, almost plug-and-play kinda kit that I highly recommend, I'd do the mod again in a jiffy if I didn't have both eyes open yet...
This thread is about the result though---it looks great with both headlights turned on, but enabling the light on the right side provides no extra effective light output at night whatsoever. I guess that has to do with how the reflective stuff inside the headlight is designed, perhaps it's good only for when the high-beam is on, but the regular beam doesn't really point forward on my bike. If it's providing light to anything, it's the area right in front and to the right of the bike, I'm talking 3-4 feet close to the bike and that's it.
I tried covering both headlights one by one, which proved that 95% of the effective road lighting is provided by the left side.
Do you have similar observations, and what did you do to remedy the situation?
