Eastern Beaver Wiring Help???

[Rocket Scientist]

If your light is bright and it's just a pattern thing, you can get an Ecode headlight reflector that will fit your 7" light housing. Search "do you want better headlights" , scroll down until you find the thread by me. I included pics of before and after eastern beaver and Ecode reflectors.

Not very bright. High beam seems to me like what low beam should be. Then again, my night vision is not what bit used to be.

Vanguard, I put the EB kit (without cutout switch) on my R3T. It made very little difference in my opinion. The big improvement was replacing the stock headlight with a good glass one, I used a Bosch unit from Candlepower. It puts the light where you need it.

Dear 'Lectric Gurus,
I have the EB full monte with the bar mount switch.
My switch works only in low beam and will not turn off lights if they are in high beam.

Is this the way its supposed to be? Can this be made to work on both beams?
I was wanting to gain full control of operating the headlights as well as re-routing around the ignition switch.
Any help appreciated,

the problem is that they have the switch after the relays witch serves it's intended purpose of switching of the light off while starting or servicing to do what you want you would need to intercept the main power wire from the battery to the relays and put in a Hi Amp capable switch so you don't lose the advantage of the kit, personally I just pull the fuse out of my relay kit while servicing and your headlight turns off (only the tiny pilot/parker lights stay on) when you hit the Starter anyway

Rick, is not your vision, the rocket has to be the bike with the worst lights ever!!
one day i almost went straight on a sharp curve, when i applied tyhe front brake the light beam went down to 10 feet in front of me, couldn't see nothing and it scared me silly, the EB kit made my lights extremely bright but the low beam still way too low, if i run the high beam my wife complains that i
, blinding her and she don't want to ride ahead of me anymore.

I took the advice of you all and bought the eb kit for my 06 classic, i'm wondering how long the install takes on average for an average person. I'm assuming the average person uses a hammer, flathead, and pliers to do most things mechanical.

It takes about 2 hours if you take it slow and methodical. Add a half hour for every beer consumed during the process.
