Default Whats best for more light on front of Road Glide

Have added LED bulbs to the stock headlights but need to keep them on high to be seen. I want to add light but not too excided about adding to the engine guard. What other options have people used to get better visability?

thanks,
mike

Motolights for my 2010. Expensive but a very good product.

Doesn'y Kuryakyn offer driving lights that bolt onto the turn sgnal mounts?

I think I saw something like that on EBay for around $350

Good grief! You already have 2 big ones up there now, and you need more to be seen? They are doing away with all the light houses. Maybe you can pick up one of those and mount it.

Comparing my FLTRX headlights to my '05 Night Train with a Hella E-code headlight shows how pathetic those "2 big lights" are. I don't know but I'm pretty sure it's poor reflector design, leaning more towards looks than actual performance. The stock headlight in my Night Train sucked too.

I have upgraded headlights to the PIAA extreme white
and Custom Dynamic 'moon shines' LED directionals.

Haven't had a chance to see the difference riding at dark,
but they are more noticeable during daylight.
