Am I right in thinking an FZ750 headlight from USA or Europe will dip the wrong way for UK (and NZ) and if so is there any way to change this?
Cheers,

Re: Dual Headlight conversion question
Hmm, I was afraid of that. There is a USA one for sale on ebay/uk that might interest Europeans if you can get the vendor to post outside UK. Here is the link:persempre907 wrote:You're right.

Re: Dual Headlight conversion question
I am in the land of OZ & have a US sourced FZ750 dual headlight & the light spread is actually pretty even & causes no issue at all. I would not be concerned about where you source the headlight. It is a definate improvement on the original & worth doing the modification.

Re: Dual Headlight conversion question
Thanks redpaso. Are the lights individually adjustable or do both the reflectors move together?redpaso wrote:I am in the land of OZ & have a US sourced FZ750 dual headlight & the light spread is actually pretty even & causes no issue at all.

The whole assembly is somewhat adjustable,.most likely you will need to shim it to get the angle up high enough.
Easy enough to do. With either the H4 or HID it is a big improvement.

from memory both lights have good adjustment in them, I am happy to ride at night now which I would not do before I fitted it as there was more light projected from a 1 year olds birthday cake.
I have one set up for high & one for low beam which works a treat, when I get round to it I will fit a switch so I can run both on hi/low for night & just one hi/low for day use. I am also running h4 xenon bulbs 55/60 which are great giving extra light without drawing extra power, (something we Paso owners are very conscious of)

Re: Dual Headlight conversion question
Jaycar have a dual HID conversion AUD$149, brand 'response' Would be perfect!
I have installed a set on my 907, amazing white light, only 30w current draw, but as I only use 1 globe the other half of the loom is doing nothing.
I need to use a LED for the parking light as there is yellow glow around the edge from the park globe.
