I want to say that there's models after 05 that have high and low,  but I'm not sure. 
I was just surprised to see that it takes an actual automobile bulb,  not some pronged one.  Does yours have the h8 or h11 type bulb?

Well,  the turn signals came in,  installed,  things went crazy.  I could've lived with the hyper flash,  but for some reason I would turn on the left blinker,  the front left would blink and the right rear would blink.  Just a bunch of headaches.  I may send them back,  I may get the resistors that they'll need to work properly.  Not sure yet. 
The led headlight that's in it has worked well a few times at night now.  Still a bit dim to what I'd like.  The new,  larger one came in.  Unfortunately it is just slightly bigger than the holes that it needs to fit in.  I'm considering modifying it that little bit to accommodate for it.  Haven't had the time,  girlfriend and daughter time has been priority recently. 
I will possibly get to that Friday.  It'll give me and the girlfriend's son a chance to hang about and do guy stuff while the girls play.

Shoot I could have warned you about the LED turn signals, you need a special flasher for the leds. The stock setup uses the resistance in the bulbs to work the flasher, and LEDs have close to 0 resistance. Don't give up, all you need is a three wire LED flasher unit available on eBay for cheap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-240W-3-Pin-LED-Flasher-Relay-Motorcycle-Car-Turn-Signal-Light-Universal-/281619428889?hash=item4191d37619&vxp=mtr
That is just one example.

I hope so.  At the least they'll be less power consuming and look cool coming down the road [emoji41]

The new headlight is fitted.  I may have to go back in and see why it cut out for a second,  hopefully just a loose connection.  I was going to take a pic or video of it in the real dark but I had my girl friend riding with.  Still need to point it up a touch.

Mine is just that headlight. Two spots for other signals if I moved them from the handlebars. They have black covers over them.
The new led already have up the ghost. I'm not sure if it was defective or if the vibrations were too much.  It was less than ten bucks,  so I'm not really sweating it much.  I took it apart and I believe one of the glass resistors had broke. 
Oh well,  the seller of the turn signals refunded me half of the cost of the signals and told me to keep them when I asked them if they took returns. I even told them not to worry about it because I may be able to get them right,  but they insisted. 
So,  back to the smaller led....
