DAY MAKER HEADLIGHTS.

[Big Gun]

The previous owner installed these on my 2013. Only had her for a few weeks and have not ridden in the full dark but compared to my 07 & 08 stock lights these are very impressive. I believe head lights on a motorcycle are as much about being seen as seeing. They put out a lot of light without being high beam rude. Two thumbs up for me.

Taking your pix from different distance locations kinda defeats the comparison purpose, no?

Not only that but also having them aimed lower
But really, I wasnt trying to compare the light distance, just that they are brighter. Nor am I trying to compare them to real daymakers. Just that for $180 they be way better than OEM
Now if they burn out tomorrow..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!

One deer, two wild hogs (four leg kind) and one cow. All way to close before I saw them. I really need better lighting.

They looked pretty good to me and I was interested in learning more.
I hope they hold up and last for you.
Are you coming to RAA XI?

True indeed, but not at night!
Seeing is paramount at night.

I sure want to do that, hopefully next year - this years vacation schedule won't allow for it.
Thanks for askin

I inquired because I am planning on bringing a light meter and tape to do some comparison testing at RAA XI.
