Some (like i) have made 2 round headlight modification to Paso. That is better in 750 Paso, cause 907 dont have enough big charching system for keeping ALL time two 55W bulbs on. Injection takes too much current from battery... :evil: There are many ways to do such modification, so all depends, whatkind lights You managed to find. Surely some job, but can be done.... :laugh:

HID is a possibility and would LOWER the current load due to the low energy useage. I can't say that it will give more or better light due to the crappy lens and reflector of the paso. There is always the Yamaha headlight.

Hi Frank,

before thinking of swapping headlight check the voltage at your lightbulb. That may already be a problem as so often on Pasos.
Changing to another headlight will probably improve the light but still not be satisfactory if there`s a remaining voltage drop.

@ finnpaso

do you have pictures off your modification?
I am thinking about such a conversion.

@ paso 750

The voltage is 0,5 Volts lower than the batteryvoltage so to my opinion aeverything shuold be alright.

greetings
Frank

0,5V is not much but according to some graphics I`ve seen 4-5% less voltage can mean up to 10% less brightness. Not sure how good the eye is to distinguish this as this is purely theoretical.
However, I`d try to directly connect the front light to the battery just for testing (!) if you can note any difference with or without full voltage (when engine is running). Then you can still see if it`s necessary to swap the front beam or not.
