Another vote for adding them, the added visibility at night is big difference.

And I like the way they look with the fairing.

I think they are ugly and would never install them, just my opinion.

I don't care for them on a Street Glide....I thought about it and went with the fog lamps instead.

i do have the truck-lite leds in all 3. with an led headlight the aux lights are more for aesthetics than necessity cause that led headlight is awesome! but if i do get the extended bags that im looking at, i will leave them on cause i think it looks good with them.

Thumbs up



I have the auxiliary lights. Love Em'..... They give a really wide swath of light pretty far ahead on the road at night, good for spotting Bambi hiding on the side of the road.


Something else I noticed almost immediately after adding them, which was the second thing I did to the bike, and this is after 40 years of riding, is that people SEE YOU much better and farther away. Even the little retired lady in the big Cadillac sees me.


Knock on Wood...... Since adding the auxiliary lights, I have not had ONE PERSON pull out in front of me, or turn left in front of me, NOT ONE! That is from November 2011 when I bought the bike, and the 25,000 miles since.


I leave the auxiliary lights on all the time, they are much more visible than just a headlight.


I'm keeping them on! Ride Safe, All-

Brighter is better, when the cagers look into the traffic for a turn on a side street or anywhere else for that matter. I want to look like a freight train coming down the road.

Thereare some very god surveys about bike visibility and the Triangular lights like Road Kings Ultras etc are the most visible and worth the trouble
