I actually fin thed low beam pretty good on the tenere, buth high is awfull.

I would also warn against fitting anything but standard H7 halogen in the low beam because of the scatter.

If the high beam is ok (except the delay) consider wiring it as suggested so that the low beam stays on.

I have standard bulbs in mine but the high beam needs some work... I've ordered a pair of 2" square 10W 8 degree LED ( I've chosen cheap copies of visionx 2" solstice ) - I'll probably also try replacing the H7 halogen with a 20W H7 LED which is supposed to put out 2500 lumen. Don't expect that to be better than the 55W halogen, but the combined draw with the pods is then only 40W - This time of year i'm riding with heated grips and are very much aware of how much power the acesserories draw ...
