Responding to a bit of an older thread...
Just to clarify my own thoughts. I just picked up a 2004 FZ6. You'd need to do this mod (so that the low-beam filament turns off when the high-beam is on) to take the extra 55W load off the stator, correct? Seems the stator is a little underpowered? I currently have an HID H7 in the left/lo-beam and an H4 LED in the right/hi-beam side. Since the HID uses less power than a halogen, and the LED uses WAY less, I'm thinking it's safe to just interconnect the H7 power lead to the H4 lo-beam lead (that's missing in the stock connector) and I'll have dual low beams. When on high beam, I'll have the H7, plus the lo and high of the H4 LED. I shouldn't have any power issues, since the LED is using substantially less power than the Halogen and heat shouldn't be an issue - the H4 LED is a fanless design with the passive heatsink - braided steel 'tails' for heat dissipation.
Any thoughts contradictory to what I'm thinking, just in case I've missed something?
