I'd also like to know about the visibility at night, I've been thinking about getting one but the headlights already suck so I dont want to make it worse.

post up when you put them on, I think they're a little smaller than stock. I emailed them to see if I can get a red lens set also. for $20 if I don't like them its no big deal

night riding is OK, I very rarely ride at night so it's not a major deal breaker, but it certainly doesn't make it dangerous at all.

Default Question on installation

Did you have to cut any wires when installing the grill? Trying to figure out because I took the light out but, need to figure out how to get the metal backing the grill screws into behind the headlight housing with ought cutting the wires. Please advise if someone can. Thank you
