HID's Driving lights fitted

[ST2UP]

We very rarely ride of a night time for a variety of reasons.....the main being, being blindsided by an over grown grasshopper doesn't appeal to our sense of adventure and equally important the good coffee shops aren't open at night 


Conversely when travelling away in the car we prefer to do our bigger miles in the dark and often leave at 10pm to get to our destination for breakfast, so HID's across the front of the car and a Bullbar go along way to offering peace of mind 


But a FarRide next month for Pockey will have us doing a stint in the dark so.......a Driving light install would go some way to easing our burden, so the criteria was based around they would be rarely used and even removed when no possible chance of them being used when touring as again we travel during the day to look around.

So MCL from the USA under mirror brackets and 55watt 4" 4300k HID's 1x Spot 1x Euro from Aust, where what we settled upon, 35watt for lesser load upon the alternator would have been preferred but where difficult to source in the style we were after.

So for $235 for lights, loom and brackets delivered this should suit our occasional use.

It's a good looking setup, and the front glass is different on each light.  Is one a spread beam and the other a tight spotlight?

Euro beam (halfway between between a spot and a spread beam) on the on side and Spot on the off side

I have the same lights in 2 x euro beam, and they make a lot of difference.  Particularly good with 70w HID H4s in the headlights. On a FarRide I was travelling with someone else with a similar setup along the road into Dalby (to call it a highway would be a lie!) and the local wildlife did not like the amount of light we were putting out.

If I was doing it again I would got for a spot-euro combination to get the spread and penetration.  Once you have used the 55w ones, the 35w seem a bit ho hum. Great for stretches where you can leave the driving lights on (ie FarRides in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere - Guyra may qualify if you stay of the New England Highway!) but not so good on freeway sections as you can't put them on very often - after 20 seconds or so they take a while to power back up, but even in start up they are brighter than 55w halogens.  LEDs would be the go there.
