gilera runner quad lights help

[jason3249]

Hi all does the runner quad lights have hi beam

As iv fitted them and the bulbs just look the same brightness

I have low beam then switch to hi beam and it looks the same as low beam

The side lights are fine

And i have to swich my mian beam and low beam switch to the middle for the hi beam light to go out and for light on the dash what shows the hi beam is on is that right..

Its a Gilera runner 180....

Any one know

Heres some pics i found on the net...

High beam and low beam are probably the same brightness high beam just shines up and effects the beam pattern which makes it appear brighter you could test this by putting a multi meter on the battery switching your lights on then pressing high beam button there will be a slight voltage drop from usage of the switch though.

Are you planning on using this on the road?

There's no way that light unit is even vaguely compliant - it just contains two MR11 and two MR16 halogen lamps that should be in your kitchen ceiling, not on a road vehicle.

Thanks mate are try that

Its passed a mot with them on

Just didnt make know sense that it dont go no brighter

I'm aware of two different ways high vs dipped beams are implemented in bikes.

The first type use single-filament bulbs (two contacts; typically H1) for both high and low beams. The high beam bulbs are unlit when dipped, and the bulbs are optimally positioned for a full cone of light facing forward. The dipped beam bulbs are offset from optimal position to give a low-biased beam, and the aim is below level; and they're usually on all the time.

The second type use dual-filament bulbs (with three contacts; typically H4), usually with a single lamp fitting for both high and low beams. The low beam setting lights one filament, and the high beam lights the other filament; the low beam filament is normally turned off while the high beam filament is lit up (or the bulb lifetime will be greatly shortened). The beam direction comes from the position of the two filaments with respect to the optimal location for reflectivity.

I don't know of any system that physically alters the voltage to the lights to adjust their brightness.

Thanks mate

I emailed some one of ebay

I said do thay have hi beam

And this is what he said

no there single filament bulbs


.............................................


I through thay go dim on low beam and brighten up for hi beam but thay dont just bright on low and hi beam

first test is to put lights on high beam and put a spanner across both battery terminals, if the lights go brighter thrn you have a wiring issue.
