FWIW, I hate the way a real Fat Bob looks.
Right there with you on that

Spanners, nicely executed !! I do like the way it looks, reminds of a '21 I was considering buying.

Now dual daymakers might brighten up your side of the world! Haha!
I bet that would be like riding into the sun for oncoming traffic!

Spanners

Have a look at JW Speaker LED headlights.

The reason the dual headlights aren't much brighter is because the light is not cumulative. In other words, what is already illuminated by one light will not be illuminated brighter by a second identical light but may allow you to adjust them for a somewhat wider spread.

Again, lighting interests me due to also being a Jeep aficionado.

Who in their right mind would spend $350-700 on a headlight. Not too bright as I see it.......

You don't want to know what kind of money I have in my Jeep's lights.

Kees bought a 2009 fatbob and still has his 1984 shovel. He was round at the weekend helping me finish the fake.

having just been out on it in the dark I would agree that the spread of light is epic and now they adjusted properly they are a big improvement.
