Question Rigid Dually LED Lights

Anyone have these on their Softail? If so, where did you install them? I ordered a pair of them off Amazon. I'll hopefully get them installed on the bike tomorrow, or at least wired up. I was thinking of buying the Dually D2 model, but they are pretty expensive & very bright from what I have read.

The Rigid LEDs are so bright that you can't run them if tere is any oncoming traffic. I have them on my jeep and they are great: bright and durable. Not sure where to mount them, but you will blind oncoming cars.

Here's a few pics of the L.E.D. Dually's (pair) with the flood beam option. When I have more cash to spare I might try the diffused lens version to see if I get more peripheral light. The first few pics are at about 75-80 yards I'd guess. The last few are probably around 40-50 yards. I didn't have a lot of time before work, but thought these would help for anyone interested. Better than nothing, anyway. Pic's go: low beam, high beam, low with Dually, high with Dually LED. Far away pic's first, then up close.
I put on about 200 miles with them in the dark currently. About 60 of those miles were 2 lane roads. The rest are freeway or side streets. I meant to have them turned downward more for the first few miles to get an idea on brightness and to not blind oncoming traffic, but from looking at these pics, the lights look close to level. I have not had anyone flash me as of yet. Also, when coming up behind cars on the freeway, the lights don't light up the drivers head or rear view mirror either like some SUV's and cars do. It probably helps that I have them temporarily mounted on the bottom side of the engine guard with hose clamps. Which the lights horizontal center point is as low as most car bumpers or lower. By the time I'm far enough behind a car (or approaching I should say), these lights don't appear to be powerful enough to shine on the back of the upcoming cars rear view mirror or back of drivers head. Im still going to do some road testing using the wife in our car and see if she gets bothered by the light. though, I don't think the Duallys will match the brightness of the wife's headlights - LoL. I don't like how Harley's 7" LED only has a horizontal plane (for the most part). When in curvy road territory with the bike leaning pretty good, the Harley LED leaves me blind in the distance of the turn. The Harley light shines somewhat wide below the horizontal plane, but that's so close to the bike I'm almost over running my headlight at highway speeds. I'm not sure how well Harley's auxiliary passing lamp LED's do, but they are quite expensive when adding in the hardware, wiring kit, and the LED's. I also don't like the look of the passing lamps on the sides of the headlight that much. Both of the Dually's together only use the same amp's draw as one of my incandescent turn signals (what they say on Rigid's website anyway), which is nice.
