Headlights both on for low beam?

Post by davenowherejones »

I have only my right (?) headlight on for low beam. Should they both be on?

Yes. Both left and right headlights should be on for low beam on Forza 300.
Did they ever both work?

I think they were recently working. I will have to check the bulb. I have had overly bright bulbs since I bought my used Forza. I think I heard somewhere they don't last long. I have 21,000 km on the scooter now. I recently did a night run with some high beam in places. The extra heat may have melted something or burnt out the bulb.

The standard bulbs as supplied last about two years.
Both mine blew within weeks of each other.

Has anyone done a LED swap for the factory headlights?

I replaced the broken bulb with a broken bulb. I guess I should throw a few things away. I guess that was a rehearsal for when I got a good bulb. I bought an new H4 60/55 to replace the burnt out H4 35/35. I now have two 60/55's One has been in for 6 months with now problems.

I wanted to do LED's but I don't know which ones would work best.

No one has ever complained about the 60/55's and I ain't telling the RCMP. So shush!!!
