So now for a report on the above lights. We used these over last weekend as part of a 1600 k ride with a night time section also covered.
The lights are mounted on the forks and are vibration free and solid, they are wired via a relay and switch with the active from the accessories at the fuse box.
Using them as DRL's is proving positive with the lights +- 25% brighter than the factory low beam with 65/55 Phillips crystal vision bulbs at 4200K.
We also used these at night on the open road by turning them out and down to cover the tabledrain, adds about 5 metres width to either side of the low beam and out to the same cut off distance along the roadway as the existing low beam, motorist don't appear offended by the lights as we were never flashed by an oncoming vehicle during day or night. In addition to extra vigilance and a decrease in speed during the night section the extra side lighting made a difference to our feeling a little safer on the road.
These in combo with the HID Euro/Spot Driving lights made for a more comfortable night riding experience.
