If aimed properly, they should see you.


My Daymakers haven't flickered.
If it happens, I'd check the bulb socket.

Just an observation I made in the difference between the Daymaker with the chrome backplate (which is the one I have) vs the Daymaker with the black backplate (the one a friend of mine has). While riding with my friend I noticed that at times, in certain angles his headlights seem to disappear for just a moment during the day. They don't turn off, but I suppose the directional light at certain angles makes the look like it's off for a split second. Mine doesn't do that and it shines very bright during the day, much brighter than my stock headlight. I think the difference is the chrome back plate. It seems to illuminate during the day from the sunlight. I also tested this when the bikes were parked by walking side to side in the parking lot. If you have the chance to compare the two side by side I think you'll find what I'm saying is true.

Also, no flickering problems with mine.
