    I'm not looking for anything fancy here, just for a safety aspect it would be better to have both lights lit under Lo-Beem, rather than one.

    I believe you would have to change the whole light as the reflector in the high beam side is the wrong angle for low beam. Therefore would still blind oncoming vehicles if you wired it up with low. Other problem people who have done this found was they were putting too much current through the switch. I fitted tinted covers to get round this but have one brighter than the other. If you had the time, try tinting one more than the other with a can of diy tint and see what happens.

    I fitted a HID kit to the nearside (Dipped) and then wired in a little switch in the inner fairing panel.So when you start it, the dip beam is'nt draining the battery aswell as the starter motor ,once the engine is running I flick the switch and on comes the HID .Trying to wire up both bulbs would indeed make the offside lamp come on and because of the reflector it would dazzle oncoming traffic (same bulb type for both lamps )
