There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Rt spyder limited 2019 light switch

Welcome to the Forum proper & posting, Leonardo. :clap: I think that what you are saying/asking is correct! :thumbup:
Here in Australia, our RT's and F3's have similar lighting arrangements to what you have over there in Europe/Italy; and both your and our HIGH beam lights are where the North American Spyders have both their High & Low beams, only theirs are powered by one single globe per light assy with a shutter arrangement to give the different beam patterns & light outputs. Our LOW BEAM lights are the same as the Euro spec lights in that they are down where the North American FOG lights are. :shocked: And when we switch our lights from LOW beam to HIGH beam, the LOW beam lights go OUT, & vice versa!! :sour: So if that's what yours is doing, then that is standard and correct for all Euro and Australasian RT & F3 Spyders! :thumbup:
However, it's not very hard to modify the wiring & add a relay so that your Low beam lights stay on ALL the time (see Pogo 4 Eyes) and there are also some Australian &/or New Zealand Spyders/F3's that have fitted dual filament Hi/low beam globes to the Upper lighting positions, with the wiring modified to work both Hi & Lo beams from up there, with a set of extra lights installed on a separately switched circuit to power another set of globes down in the former Low or N/American Fog position. Depending upon what globe size &/or beam pattern you choose for those lower lights, you can set them up as Fog lights, Driving or Spot Lights, or Daytime Running Lights.
hyea:
All the 1330 Spyders have enough electrical power from their alternators to run an extra set of lights like that, but you need to be a little careful if you try to do that on a 998 V-Twin powered Spyder, cos the twins with their magneto don't have quite the same electric power output to spare! :sour:
Over to you, & Good Luck! Stay safe & healthy, and enjoy the Miles of Smiles your Spyder can bring! :thumbup:
Cheers :cheers:
