i tried the mod i found on how to convert the healights on my 600 to dual, but obviously they didn't do it on an 07!!! i don't know what to do. is there anyone out there who has done this on an 07 zx6r? i spent way too long on it for absolutely nothing!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liteone

Did they make big wireing changes for 07? if not it should be the same proceedure

redzxgirl

it's not. the actual headlight assembly is different. i even tried to mod it myself, but it wasn't looking like it was gonna happen so i stopped before i couldn't go back to stock.

ok, i wasn't sure if the wiring harness is different or not. shouldn't matter what the config of the front of the bike if wires go same place. But like i said IDK.

redzxgirl

the wiring part is actually more simple than they make it in the mod instructions. it's just that the bulbs required have to be trimmed down-no problem-but when you get them in the headlight socket the deflectors have to be removed, but they are actually part of the casing. you would have to cut them out, but i can't get the casing apart to even begin to cut them out. this whole things is so frustrating.

Just to clarify, are we talking about making both headlights come on at all times?

Liteone

AH I got ya now!

redzxgirl

yea so both running lights are on and then both the high beam will come at. the way it is now is the standard one running light one high beam. it sucks for any time of night riding.

Liteone

And it looks funny too! Espesially in the mirrors.

redzxgirl

yes. it does.

This was very popular for the 03-05 R6. www.r6messagenet.com/forums has lots on info on doing it.
You have to put your headlights in the oven to soften the glue up, then it will come open. Then you change up the wiring some, use dual bulbs and on the R6 the high beam and low beam side were actually different on the inside so you had to make some changes there too.

I've seen where they converted to HID. And to do that, they had to split the case open. They used a hair drier to heat the glue and a knife/screw driver. Make sure you do't get the plastic too hot or it will distort.

check the kawasaki specific forums. I have seen threads on this exact topic and how to make it work. converts both into a low/hi beam light...

yea that's the forum i went off of for my bike, but.......i guess i will just have to put the bike into tear down mode for a few days and make my own mod.

Waldo

Not sure I would be much help (I haven't done it) but if you need help let me know

ok, I ripped the whole front of the bike apart to remove the headlight assembly(what a pita) The lenses are different and there are metal sheilds inside that are different on the two sides, I don't see any easy way to make them both the same since everything is molded together, What I did do was swap bulbs, put the lo blub on the hi side and the hi bulb on the low side and when they are both on they are close, so that's what I'm sticking with, gonna keep the hi beam switch on all the time, they are about the same brightness now but the hi side has a wider beam.

It is fairly easy to swap the bulbs from side to side, you have to trim a little off the inside of the plastic bulb socket and a little off 1 of the metal tabs.(took 5min for both with a dremmel)

so I've finally discovered that the dual headlight conversion CANNOT be done on the 07 zx6r. It was a complete waste of time and 20 bucks. The headlight assembly is completely different and does not work the same as on the older models. so I guess I'll just have to stick with the 1 light until I figure something else out. If the weather was good for riding right now I would have been pissed that I missed 4 days. Oh well.

Some guy on the other site said he adjusted his high beams to be the same leve as the lower beam would be and rund High beam all the time.
