Hey man, I'll get that list up in the next day or so. Very sorry it hasn't happened yet, just keep getting sidetracked.

I'll be commuting to work on it 60miles a day so half the time I'll be ridding before sunrise so I'd like a bit more light and I don't mind getting my hands dirty with a custom build.
I've read through to your excellent DIY you posted  and thank for taking the time to post it, but I'm confused on how your getting the low and high beam. Is this like the stock lights where the low beam is only one and high is both or are they both on in both modes. I know it will make more sense when I have it in my hands but I always like to know as much beforehand as possible. Thanks |
Hi Jason and welcome!
The stock bikes have one bulb for low beam, one bulb for high.
In the projector-HID retrofit described in this thread, both bulbs are lit for low beam and they stay lit for high beam. What changes to make high-beam is a small metal shutter that drops down, to let more light through the lens at a higher angle. The shutters are part of the projector assembly (one per bulb) and are hooked up to the electrical socket that would power the hi-beam bulb on the stock headlight assembly.
Here's an example pic from another site:
