Old man on a bike
Well I'm going to get this post back on track and set myself up for some criticism and controversy as well. When it come to aiming your auxiliary lights I have a formula that works for me. The formula is....to move them around at night and do several test rides to see where I get the best coverage on the whole road including the right side of the road. My formula gives me the best chance of seeing the road better at night and any deer that may be attempting to cross the road in front of me.
I'm a selfish arse when it comes to my safety and I could care less if some oncoming driver thinks my auxiliary light are a little bright or not aimed correctly. I do it for my own safety and to hell with whether they are correctly aimed or not. Some might same I'm setting myself up to tick some four wheeler off. Well I say....they tick me off all the time with the crazy things they do when I'm out riding. I have never had an oncoming driver flash me for having my fog lights on at anytime day or night. As for my bright lights, I only run those when there is no oncoming traffic. I do like the fact that the auxiliary lights stay on when I run my high beam as well. On my Harley, the auxiliary lights would turn off if you switched on the high beam. Apparently the best possible night vision I could have was not as important to my Milwaukee friends.
