The "new" dual bulb halogen headlamp

High beam lower than low beam
Does anyone else have this problem with the dual beam halogen headlamp (67700032)?
The low beam gives very good wide and bright lighting for city driving. But when the more centrally focused high beam is switched on, the beam hits the road below the low beam and is practically useless for seeing far on down the road. There seems to be no way to adjust this that I can see. Any ideas?

Seems like something is wrong... I love my dual beam halogen headlamp, I can see just as far with it as either of my cages. I did however swap out the bulbs to Hella Xenon H9's in the hi and low beam sockets.
Low beam is awesome with the H9 bulb. Hit the hi beam and it lights up everything way down the road. I live in deer country and I feel a lot better riding with this headlight.
If in fact it is aimed properly, maybe you have a defective reflector housing in the lamp. Just a thought.

Well, I've tried all I can thing of- new bulbs, full range of beam elevation adjustments,-- no matter what, the light from the center focused high beam is always below the wide low beam. The relation of the two beams appears to be fixed and cast into the reflector housing or casting. My conclusion is that in this case at least, the reflector casting is defective. The bike, a 2011 HLFTK, which I bought used with the dual bulb headlight already there, is now out of waranty, and I suppose the headlight reflector is also out of warranty, but I'll take it to the local dealer and see if I can get some relief or adjustment.

I think you may have a defective reflector in your lamp housing. When I go to high beam the light range distance doubles or more down the road.
Everyone I know that has the dual beam loves it.
Changing to the H9 bulb in the low beam socket, along with the 893 (37.5v) bulbs in the passing lamps, the low beam light output is awesome.
Good luck, I hope you get it resolved.
