In my opinion, 3 lights are better than 1 but I think they say different in some of the safety courses. Not sure where they get their information from.

Personally, I never use bright except when I want to see better at night.

I light all this up at once and it looks like a scene from Close encounters coming at you , those little Piaa's are serious for getting the road lite up way in front of you .

For my daily 5:30 a.m. commute I've looked at those Kuryakyn driving lights/turn signals kit for RG's. But I don't know if they're bright or just look good. Even with brights, (Halogen/Xenon,) it's really easy to outrun them.

Wish Piaa made a bracket or something like that for it.

Oh, and I just run low beams during the day. (Thanks, Op

Neighbor 4 house's down said they cast a shadow on his wall with the shades down one night , I can't say enough about them .

Another vote for running high beams always during the day and low beams after dark.
