Why would Guzzi wire these up like this ??? Could there be a charging issue ?????

I did all the adjustments on mine, on a country lane, pitch black, not on main stand and bearing weight, got them to the optimum that they could reach, and I stand by my comments, they just are not good enough for fast night riding, there is room for improvement
Makes no sense to me, there is no charging issue, as the alternator on the Stelvio is the same as the Norge, and that uses both main beams.Why would Guzzi wire these up like this ??? Could there be a charging issue ?????
Interesting thread. I wouldnt trust the scotchlock connector very long. My experience is that those things dont hold up well in the long term, especially with any weather exposure.
Just make sure the lights are well adjusted if you do. Nothing worse than an head on at night because the driver coming the other way couldn't see anything due to being blinded. This is a real problem on very short wheelbase vehicles like bikes.Subject shift : Im also going to be looking at installing an HID conversion kit consisting of 2 H-4 HID bulbs with solenoid beam adjuster and ballast .
Wayne, whose driving lights did you use, and where did you mount? Could you post a pic of the finished project with details on tips/tricks of the install??
I'm rethinking my mounting plans for the PIAA 1100x's and might drill the outer underside of the fairing just below the headlights and mount them down there. No wiring running down near the exhaust header heat, no chance of bashing them on the ground in a tipover (though I planned to mount them inside the crash bars, again, maybe a bit too close to heat source??) Work in progress...

Did you find matching connectors, or cobble like I'm planning on?? (I've got Posilocks and good quality waterproof plugs to customize the harness)
