I put the 7" truck-lite LED head light and the Passing/Aux light LED's on our bike and at night it really lights up the night. You wont have a fear of the dark with these....

I avoid riding at night...it's just not fun. Too many bad variables...that, and my bike is 99% black.

Would like a brighter light though for when I have to ride at night. Nothing fits the tiny bones headlight bucket though...except for the LED HD headlight and I ain't paying that kind of coin for something that doesn't go with the old school look anyway.
