Default modulating headlight

I've seen a few recently, yesterday on a dresser, which was the first HD I've seen with one...It freaks me out at first, which I guess is the idea....Will these take hold??? or fade away???? opinions?

I'm thinking of getting one for my bike. I've heard from car drivers who say that not only can they see them, they are generally one of the things that really catches their attention driving down the road. If it makes me more visible to cars, I'm all for it.

I got it and love it, I followed my co-worker home the other day and he said it buged the Sh#t out of him, so it is an attention getter.

That to me is the only problem with them. I agree they can be seen better but I wouldn't want to "bug" some guy that liked to practice road rage.

I agree. I don't think I would enjoy someone behind me with one of those. I would think they wanted me to pull over or something.

I hope they fade away fast. They're annoying. [:@]

You'll find the BMW (German) crowd is the largest user of modulating headlights.
