Hi..I've been out most nights recently around narrow country lanes,all weathers, and my only gripe with my already much loved 06 xt660r is I could do with a lot brighter headlamp..I presume what's in mine is stock..but it's really inadequate.. there's no cats eyes..no signs..often no difference between tarmac,mud and grass..anything over 30-40 and it's white rhino time...much more light needed....any suggestions???..don't really want to upset the electrics with ballasts etc unless there's no other solution....thanks...

I tried everything from HID to higher wattage bulbs, still not much better. Get some additional lights like fogs or spots as they make a huge difference.

Just noticed your only up the road from me, i am just outside Ystradgynlais
