Let's do a mod

I have been reading about the dual headlight mod but I hesitated for a long time. Now I decided to do the mod.

I can tell you... This mod is tested from hundreds of people all over the world. No problems caused to battery life or headlight housing. It is easy and perfectly safe. And you improve the night visibility too! The only drawback that I've heard of (and don't even know if it's true) is that Yamaha warranty is void after any tampering with the electrical system. That includes this mod, heated grips, alarms (other than the ones fitted by Yamaha dealers) etc etc

The H4 bulb of the FZ6 has a dual fillament. That means that the same bulb has two levels which work for low or high beam separately. I think there is a way to have both filaments lit at the same time but is NOT advisable. It would draw more current than the current the bike was designed for. Some people will say it's safe but I wouldn't bet on it.

Here's a video showing how this mod should work.
