Lighting upgrades.
Just put in a Custom Dynamics tail lamp. Easiest thing I have done. 2 screws and a connector. Nice and bright. Much better.
I also got a Fuel Moto headlamp bulb

I just installed the JW Speaker 8700 Evolution 2 headlight and it works great. I'm curious what that LED "swap-out" deal for the headlight will be like. You will have to post some pics. Also, I hope that the light is somewhat controlled and not scattered like the HID kits that blind everyone.

The Site states that if you have a CanBus, it will throw codes due to the low draw.
I wonder if you connect auxiliary lamps to the same circuit, it will create more draw and not throw codes.
I wonder if Fuel Moto has an answer?

comparisons of it vs a stock and previous generation daymaker shown against walls, and it looks to be a significant improvement. My biggest concern is how it compares to stock on sideward light output, particularly at shorter to medium range - the light that might catch in the eyes of deer or other critters at the edges of the road. Can you comment on how it is in that area - from an 'on the road' perspective?Thanks!

I've been thinking about upgrading to the evo2 LED headlight. I've seen some 'head to head' comparisons of it vs a stock and previous generation daymaker shown against walls, and it looks to be a significant improvement. My biggest concern is how it compares to stock on sideward light output, particularly at shorter to medium range - the light that might catch in the eyes of deer or other critters at the edges of the road. Can you comment on how it is in that area - from an 'on the road' perspective?
Thanks!

We still have snow on the ground here so the "on the road" perspective will likely be 3 more weeks. I can tell you this though.... I shone them on my garage door and the improvement over the HD LED was noticeable. It has a much wider beam pattern.... so it will definitely hit the ditches better. When you kick in the high beams it throws a lot more light out front as well.
