i ride a lot at night and like having both beams on, some scooters have a momentary switch that fires both but who want to hold that all the time. also it uses one power wire which can overheat with the increased demand, these way it splits the load of the two lights over different wires.
most scooters use the same basic wiring for the headlight/horn switch.
I unsoldered the high beam from its spot on the selector switch and spliced it and soldered it to the horn power, which is always hot, so the high beam is always on. i flick the selector to the down position and the low beam comes on with the always on high beams, and i can see well enough to cruise these dark roads.
I kinda wish i did it the other way, set the low beam always on by splicing it to horn power, and using the selector to turn on the high beam but the headlights on the La Vie are the same watt high and low beam, i have switched it on a few scooters, but its a quick easy mod to really make the headlights suck far less.
