I regularly travel approx 25km in the dark to work at 5:30 in the morning in which 18km is 100km/h along a outback road with Kangaroos being a regular sighting along with the smell of the ones that have been hit already. What I have found is if you set high beam to work good low beam is too low and if you set low beam to be good high beam is too high. Also the high beam indicator light is very bright and is a distraction when on high beam. I just did the rewire to have both beams on together and although I have not tested on the road yet it has made a big difference in the backyard shining the light on the fence. I am yet to place some tape over the high beam indicator with a small hole in it to block some of the light.

I used to do a lot of night riding on my other bike (98 Yamaha WR250zk) if you think the light is crap on the Tenere you should try bush riding the WR, a candle against a mirror would be brighter.

Has anyone tried these?

Yep, I've run those bulbs for the last two and a half years (in both dip and main) and they've been really good and still going strong too, which isn't bad when you think the dip is burning 24/7!

Good news just trying to find out if that is a two pack or single pack so I order the right amount to change both bulbs

I've gone for HID's and fitted these:

Mainbeam bulb holder needs a slight mod, but all working okay and a 20W power saving!!

Masgra...

What mod did you have to do?

:)

.

it's pretty simple, but would need new bits to reverse it!

the mainbeam bulb holder is a twist in fitting that the original bulb sits it and the wire connectors are a moulded part of the fitting, so what you have to do is to cut the connector block off of the bulb holder. this creates a hole that the HID bulb and its wiring can fit through. the original wiring has to be cut and 2 spade connectors fitted to power the slimeline ballast.

the dipped beam is more or less a straight swap as it uses the sprung wire fitting, but again i cut the original connector block off and replaced with spade connectors to save space.

the slimline ballasts are stuck under the petrol tank on each side with velcro tape.

Thanks for the info...

Just found this thread, thanks for the info. You do not have to remove the tank to do this, you can access the loom and plug from underneath the front cowl, just have the steering over to the left. Done in 5 minutes :)
