I agree, Seago...

Ideas? Buy them and put them on.

They look very nice, but my concern is the width of the beam and how far it can be aimed "outboard" to illuminate the side of the road. The answer I've gotten so far is "not at all", they point straight and there is no ability to angle them left or right on the engine guard.

There ARE alternatives that will pivot outbound, but they really don't look like they'd have such a "finished" look once mounted on the bar.

Do some searching and get yourself as confused as I already am about the subject!

the higher up that they are the better they will light the road, you will not get much light out of them on the bottom of your frame and i think you iwll find it to be a waste

Where where did you mount the relay? Sorry for the confusing question previously I'm having trouble finding a place to mount my relay.

On my Glide I have a set of older oval H-D fog lights, but it seems they are now discontinued. Take a look at the H-D website shop for ideas, as they sell some neat round ones now, under the Daymaker banner. Should be simple enough to mount them on your bars. There are other brands, but the really good ones tend to cost more!
