Whats Up With The Headlights?

by Shane Holden – July 30, 2009

Quite often I am asked that question while filling up at a gas station, or sitting at a redlight.  Most assume that one of the headlights is out, but the real reason is all in the beams.  One is a low beam, and the other is the high beam.

600RR - Low Beam Only

600RR - With High Beam On

I’ll admit, that if I had designed it, I wouldn’t have wanted to do it this way.  But I think it has more to do with the actual size of the light, as well as the shape that they needed to make the reflective interior.  There is a modification you can do to make the high beam burn dim, but I’d rather not mess with it.  It may look a little silly, but it works perfectly.
