I cant figure why my right head light is very dull and the left seems normal.
it switches from high to low fine but only seems to be getting half power or less.

if i cant find the problem would there be a problem with piggy backing the right hand headlight onto the left?

Have you checked your earthing. Most likely one side could be earthed more then the other.
Also check your bulbs. One might be on it's way out.

3rd and 4th fuses from the left, top row in the fuse panel above the pedals, one is blown

you cannot check them with a test light, you must remove them and have a look

I bet your high beam dash light is doing some funny stuff too

It turned out to be a shitty earth.

Where? both headlights earth in the same place, a screw under the dash with the wipers

[Trypt]

the actual earth pin on the light had cracked just took some solder and its all sorted.

Maybe a Royce engineered Headlight loom upgrade will sought out your Shitty Earths! and generally dim headlights (even with a good earth)

[Trypt]

im upgrading to hid's soon. i will run a relay for them so that solves all the shitty problems im worried about the negative switching though
I see you have a longhorn on your back window... i like you already

[stocker]

haha im also now running 33's not 215 75 R15's

[Trypt]

so you will have to change your name then

FWIW a loom upgrade combined with a decent housing and bulbs will produce an equally good result...and still be legal But i'm not starting that debate again

[Trypt]

Loom upgrade + new reflectors + 35w hids = equivalent light output to 100w halogens while drawing 6 amps!

The colour of the light has nothing to do with it. You (coppers) can tell the difference between HID's and halogen lights from a mile away.......just saying At the end of the day it's your car, do what you want with it.

but they cant hear my bike... they are a special sort those police

this guy.

spent an hour testing and stuffing around with earths. should have searched first. what lamps are people running? i don't want anything stupid (HID/ cop bait ) just something that all put out good light. i am going to make up a upgraded loom to help even more. one more headlight related question whats the best way of setting up the headlights (getting them pointing straight or where ever they are meant to point)??

cheers greg
