I'm with you,,,I think it's weird.I'd do something like Mod the Base on a pair of H4 BubsYour Original H7's have ONE Single Filament,,,like a household light bulb.H4's have Dual Filaments,,1 Hi&1 LowH4's have same focal length and approx same electrical specs as the original H7'sTin Snips will get the bigger H4 flange cut down the size.Leave a Locating Tab, ala H7I woudn't just use a simple jumper wire from bub to bub.I'd pull a heavy wire direct from Batt,,,with a Conveniently accessible Fuse.Connect that to a PAIR of good relays.Use the Orignal Headlight wires to run the Relay instead of the Bubs.And the Relays will Run the Bubs.That oughta put Both Lamps with their Own High Beam,,,On simultaneously.And Both Lamps with their own Low Beam,,on SimultaneouslyDual Beam High,,Dual Beam LowAnd No More Name Callin'for Ms Dead-Eye Slim about her Headlights :)Nothing about the Bike's ORIGINAL STUFF,,the Headlights,Wiring,Switches,,,Nothing Gets Butchered.Unplug the Mod Stuff,,and put things back to Original very quick and easy with No Sign of anything ever having been done...................................Original ConfigurationLOW Beam Position:(Off) ----(LOW).........High is OFF,,,Only 1 Low ONHIGH Beam Position(High) --(LOW)........1 High and 1 Low are ON................................................ .................................Hatchet JobLow Beam:(LOW) (LOW)..........BOTH Low Beams are ON(HIGH) -(HIGH)..........BOTH High Beams are ONBubs are as cheap as $5/pair.Good Ones are up to $10 EachYa need 2 eachRelays are around $10 EachNeed 2 eachWire,,some crimp on connectors,,a Fuse Holder,,maybe $10~15H-4 Sockets are nice,,instead of using individual connectors.Makes the Job look like somebody knew what they were doing.$5 Each,,,need 2About $50~60 worth of stuffCouple Hours piddling around even for a novice.Very Simple project.Only tricky part is Trimming the H-4's base flange to H7 Size.Not too hard,,,just tedious...............................You can Also Mod the Mod.Another Relay and a Switch can be wired to Defeat the Mod,,and revert to Original Configuration.It's very easy to add and wire in.The CATCH is,,,Ya gotta find a place to mount the Switch.I don't see much use in doing that Extra,,,but it IS Possible&Easy,,,and adds about another $20 worth of Stuff............................................. .........I know You didn't actually ask,,"What can I do about it?"....I just thought You may be interested in Knowing that it's not that big a deal to get Dual Filament Bubs in Both Beams so it works like normal Dual 2-beam headlites.Take care!
