I used to have a Thunder 50 and as thescooterguru said, that bike is wired to have one light for highbeam and the other for lowbeam. However it is possible to wire it so that both lights work at the same time, in both High and Low beam modes - i did this myself when i had the bike since the default light is not enough for me. I never had any issues with both lights on, a large part of that is that the bike comes with a 8 pole stator whereas most 50cc's have a 6 pole stator, so it has that extra juice just waiting to be used and your battery should be completely charged...Just make sure to use heavy gauge wiring if you do the mod [id say 14awg preferred but 16awg you could get away with].  |

are they regular headlights or the "projector" style, having a small dome type lens? if so they are "projected" at different angles to get high and low beam and are meant to be only one or the other.
