while we're on the subject of dipped/main beam, does anyone else find that main beam is a waste of time?
i find i can see more with the dipped lamp, and when i switch to main it's no higher/further, it just lights up a patch roughly in the centre of the dipped bit. i've changed the bulb, then changed it back, and checked as many times to make sure both bulbs are in properly but i can't figure it out. thing is i don't remember it being like this when i first got the bike.

its a real pain cos i ride on quite a few country roads so good lights can be quite handy....
