    i have a 06 TE-510 and its basically 100% stock. I dont like the quality of the stock headlight unit. Its not very bright and was considering purchasing the motosportz Halogen X2 unit.
    Here is another issue with the bike. When i hit the brakes and activates the rear brake light my headlight deems a little light the bike cant handle powering the healight (high beam) rear light and brake light at the same time. The bike seems to start fine but if i were to try starting it for 15 seconds i think the battery would start getting pretty weak but the bike always starts up so its not a problem.
    If this is all common on the huskys then i'm not worried.
    So if it is common then i would buy the halogen X2. But does it mount the same way as a stock unit with the rubber bands on the sides? Does it just plug right in to the wiring harness? I would like to have it be 2" low beam and both lights for highbeam. Would the charging system handle that?
    thanks for ur help

    I'm not sure why you did not get an answer but everything you described is completely normal.

    I believe the X2 light connects the same as the stock unit with bands, and there are 2 lights - one low beam and one high beam. They are 35W each just like the stock unit.


    At least I think that is how it works. They are not DOT approved if that makes a difference to you.
