Lightbulb Daymaker during the day

Ride a 2014 Low Rider. During the summer work as a usher for the local double a baseball team and therefore frequently riding late at night, mostly expressway. Only about half our expressway lights work, have pot holes as deep as the Grand Canyon, and theses old eyes do not work as well as the use to. This winter working on see and be seen. Have Custom Dynamics LED taillight/brake light on order. Figure with it and reflective vest have my rear covered. Assume the Daymaker or something similar would improve night vision but it has been my observation they are not as attention getting during the day as the standard setup. Does anyone else think this or am I not seeing something?

Hello, yes, I have a 2015 Limited with Daymakers as OEM and my riding buddies tell me I am now harder to see during the daylight hours compared to HID on my previous Harley. Unfortunate.

Guess I'm relieved to know others think this but it causes me a problem. Most of my riding will still be during the day and I want to make darn sure I am seen. Good thing minor league baseball doesn't start until April. Gives me time to come up with a plan.
