Flipping spot lights

Have you guys with touring bikes tried to flip the spot lights for better night driving?

I'd rather install another set of lights on the lower section of the crash bar.

I flipped mine, amazing difference. Free to try and takes about 4 minutes... goes right back the way it was if you don't like it, but you will.

One of the first things I did when I got my 17 TK home. Once you try it, unlikely you would go back.

Well now that is interesting. I just had my bike programmed Saturday where the spots stay on with the high beam also.

I guess when you say flip them you are talking about rotating them 45 degrees so they are verticle instead of horizontal?

Where is the light shining?

Thanks

No sir they're talking about flipping them 180* or upside down if that makes more sense to you.

Thank you sir.

I plan Tom try it and see how well it works. Guess I made the mistake of thinking they were putting out an equal amount of light in both directions.
