Does anyone know of a simple way to have both headlights (dipped) on at the same time? I'm getting fed up of cage drivers saying 'oi mate, one of your lights is out' or elderly pedestrians hitting me on the helmet with a rolled up newspaper saying I should get that fixed. Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks.

Mnnn, The other light is a spot light beam very focused pattern a high beam light not a spread out like the single dip only led light. Take the rolled up newspaper off the elderly and tell them it’s invisble light to over seventies 🙄 🤣

I was playing with a helmet cam a while back and rode through some mist... It shows the beam patterns brilliantly so I grabbed a screen shot.

That says maybe. I still think its a meaningless faff to do. If it was a toss up between doing that mod and painting a wall and watching it dry, I would be at the wall with my roller and silk emulsion.

Probably why such small light units work surprisingly well. Agree, I’ve no need at all and no desire whatsoever to mod the lights. With you on the paint drying watching, I’ll bring the beers and LED headtorch, lol.
