When I got the Uly, I thought the stock bulbs were just way to dim. Almost like using an old flashlight when riding where there where no streetlights. I purchased PIAA Extreme White bulbs and solved the problem. Man these bulbs are bright white. After changing the bulbs, I realized that my headlight was aimed too low so I fixed that. After re-aiming I noticed that when running my low beam it shines higher and longer than my High beam. When the switch is on High beam and the Blue light is on, it is a shorter lower beam. I changed the bulbs one at a time so swapping wires is impossible. I really believe that this thing is not wired right. Anyone else notice this problem? Could the plugs have been swapped at the factory? Is there any way to tell if they are in fact connected to the right bulbs since they use the same H7?

Thanks,
Joel

White wire is high beam, left side.
Yellow wire is low beam, right side.
