Are you going hog hunting with those things? I asked a similar question earlier and the best response was possibly a stator replacement to provide more current to the battery. Seriously, what are you going to do wiith those lights?

I'm not going to do it, it may hurt my ele system. But was thinking of replacing the headlight with just one of them. I ride a 14 limited most all the time with the daymaker head light and aux lights and apperantly I'm seen better. When riding the sportster more people have pulled out in front of me or start too, that's where a brighter headlight idea came from. Do you have a good Replacment headlight recommendation?

I am replacing my stock 2013 WG headlight with a chrome bullet light I bought at a swap meet. I'm doing it for looks only. I know what you mean about preoccupied drivers and the close calls they cause us. I think that IF they look before they pull out, they are only looking for cars and trucks. When they don't see one they instinctively pull out. But on the other hand, I have a large truck also and it happens with it also. Some people, mostly females, fit the description of my grandfathers generation..Women are dangerous drivers.

I also live in Florida, once while traveling on I4 from Tampa to Orlando on a Sunday morning a teenie bopper raced up behind me at 75 mph and begun tailgating. I watcher her in my rearview, she was texting. She was watching for my tailights in her upper periphery while dong her texting, we were the only cars one the road. I nailed my brakes hard causing her to swerve into the other lane, when she past by me she gave me the finger!! I suppose if I wasn't willing to be rearended by the tart she thought I was an *******. My grandfather was right. Good luck and watch the idiots out there.

By the way, if you were to mount one of those lights, how would you have done that?
