Hi, my son has just bought a Peugeot Speedfight 3 125cc from a dealer on eBay. It’s been recently MOTed and seems to work well, but I’d like someone to tell me if the lights are normal please.

When the lights are on lowbeam (dip), only one headlight comes on and when you switch to ‘dazzle’, the first one turns off and the other headlight comes on, so at no point do the front headlights come on together. Is this normal?

Any advice would be really helpful before we start fiddling around with the bulbs. Thank you 😊

Yes this is normal.

Most bikes past 2001 that have two headlight pods will have one for dipped beam and one for main beam.

My Bandit 1200 had it and I got so sick of people telling me I had a headlight out I found a fix. By just adding a £4 really, both lights came on for dipped and main beam.

This is because they both have the same bulb but are only utilising one part of it.

Maybe there's a similar fix for yours.

Not sporty enough so now on my GSXR 1000 K3 and absolutely love it. 1 year down the line, nearly died way too many times on this bike. Sold it. Had a 6 month break. Missed biking so now, Aug 2019 have a 1999 ZX9r. What a beauty she is too.
