My low beam bulb is burned out and I noticed that the inside of the headlight is melted. I was never happy with the low beam so I'm thinking of buying a new high beam to replace my current high beam which will become my low beam. Will running dual high beams cause any electrical problems with the bike? Will my old high beam simply melt due to the wattage? Ideas?

I was running the factory set up. I haven't had to mess with the headlights until now.

you should NOT have a problem running 2 high beam housings on you bike.

i have been doing it for over 20k miles and haven't had a problem yet.
