Title: Driving Lights
Post by: j.davis on November 12, 2020, 04:45:01 AM

Stedi spots and a skene controller on my V85tt.
LED, they look yellow in these pics due to me not being head on to the lens, and running them at 30% as DRL's.
I have the spots angled slightly outwards towards the side of the road where the skippies hide.

bit of a fan of a proper LED DRL. Especially on older bikes with marginal charging.

+1 on aux lights. If they can see you, they might be less likely to run out in front of you!

I'm a member of the cheap Amazon Hillsking brand sideshooter LED's. Bright white light the casts far and wide for $28.99 shipped :thumb:

Actually like them a lot better than a set of Rigid LED that cost 5X as much.

I bought them years ago and finally found a use for them. They came with an integral 2 ft cable which I ran into the headlight bucket.

I recently suppressed my usual "HOW F**KING MUCH?" reaction to the price of decent LED Spots, and forked out for a pair of Rigid Industries D-Series Pro Spot SM/2s.

Some of the best money I've ever spent, and to be honest, if I added up the cost of all the cheap (fairly useless) ones I've bought over the last few years . . . well, you know the rest.

Instant daylight, I'm purposely seeking out unlit roads at night now, just to use them!   :cool:

Only problem is, they show up just how inadequate the Dipped Beams are, so I've had to replace the Headlight bulbs with LEDs too.
