If you hadn't seen it already, makanouchi modified his FZ6 to put xenon projectors in it. The writeup is here.
My bike has two H4 bulbs, giving it two high and two low beams. I also modified it in such a way that I could quickly go back to the stock H7 bulb on the left side, leaving the bike with just the BD43 headlight mod.
Makanouchi came over tonight and we did a scientific test of the various lights We set the bikes up at the end of a street and photographed high beams and low beams. The bikes were not running, so all of these tests are on battery power only.
The bikes were both on their centerstands, which made the headlights point lower. This is more a test of relative brightness and beam pattern than it is of headlight aim.
The camera was mounted to the windscreen of the bike being tested, to give a rider's perspective on the headlights.
The link to the gallery of images is here.
First, the most popular headlight mod to date, the BD43 modification.
Details here.
Low beam.
High beam
Next up, dual H4 bulbs, created by Cashcrzzy.
Details here.
Low beam
High beam.
Finally, Makanouchi's Xenon death rays.
Low beam
High beam
I'd add a conclusion here, but the results speak for themselves.
