"notice how the light shines up"

That gives you low beam, to get a high beam one needs to have the light shining down with possibly the light shining up as well to give a better around coverage.  without light shining down into the bottom of the reflector you will not get much of high beam illumination. the better bulbs have at least 2, some 4, LED's - 2 low - on top, 2 high - on bottom. of a bulb assembly.

AND now the results for the new light


pic taken above the fairing down onto road

   
Both lights low beam                                                                                                                                         Both lights high beam

   
new light only, low beam                                                                                                                                    new light only, high beam

   
Old light only, low beam                                                                                                                                    Old light only, high beam

Hope this explains all



WOW WOW:
The new light looks like it is going to be better then the original LED ones :eek
And I thought the old lights were the best lights I had ever seen on a bike :fp

Now I just have to wait for mine to die then I too will get myself a set of them (Just have to remember to buy 2 as they are sold as individual lights)

Thanks for the report mate, I look forward to hearing about what you think of them when you have a chance for a decent night ride :thumbsup

Cheers
