how do you level fog lights?

@joe15rocket is 23 miles from Cleveland at Mentor and has a Touring as well give him a PM and have a get together. Even if you don't tackle the task you could make a lifelong buddy.

So, you're at a disadvantage thanks to a curious design choice made by Triumph -- the driving lights -- I suspect was a pure cost measure (and so silly of them, making so few, so little cost saved) -- requiring cutting and splicing. There must be several someones reasonably close who would fix you right up.

The ruddy "fog" lights for the standards/roadsters are the same. - It's a FAULT FREE FITTING FOR IDIOTS system. Not maintenance friendly - except for the OEM dealer MAINTENANCE (also called F*CK-UP) dept.

I'll bite.

Sounds fine in theory, but the most likely reason your safety would be compromised is a blinded oncoming driver swerving towards you and taking you out. There is a natural tendency in humans (not just moths) to head towards bright lights. Even the mob new that when they set up Las Vegas!

NAY NAY, Ish - Not so!
Moth theory (aka target fixation) has been shown as BS.

Hmm - Surprised. Really.

You will tend to (many would suggest should) drive/ride to the point you are looking at on the road. Which IMO is "Where I'll Stop If I Hit The Brake NOW".

I can well believe that you will "WTF" glance at (or avert your gaze from) annoying glare. It's instinct. If you are fully fit you quickly overcome this.

But if you're tired at night ( or with aging eyes - or a bit intoxicated with whatever ) your reactions diminish - then (esp if you look towards) it WILL screw up night vision so my thoughts are that frankly for a while you're actually NOT 100% sure where you are on the road. Same happens when you get a full on blast of sun in your eyes.

Also I think most of this dark driving "mothing" is probably during commuting. It has been shown here that a commuting driver is so accustomed to a set order of things that they simply do not cope with changes - and light/dark is one of those changes. People actually do not "see" what's out there. Auto Pilot.

It's never just ONE THING imo. Why? - On my commute I come across the same cars going in the opposite direction almost every day. It's a rural commute with little traffic. Some days car "X" lights will have me seriously cursing their parentage - other days I barely notice. If I've had a bad night - I curse more.

@barbagris
Amigo, many human factors studies have found it bogus. one of my gurus and teachers, Jeff Muttart PhD included.
Google moth Effect for some dope if interested.

I don't do dope.
BUT IT HAS TO BE TRUE!. I trust the INTERWEB-THINGIE implicitly. Along with the many members of the Nigerian Royal Family that send me mails.
