Cirius Engine guard lights
I bought some of these, and installed them on my 2015 FLHTK. Again could not find much information about them here. Installation was not too complicated, I followed the instructions exactly. Getting the lights straight across from each other and getting them at the same angle is the tricky part. I have mine tilted just a couple degrees off head on, as I was hoping they would illuminate the side of the road when going around curves in the dark.
They are definitely bright, but as far as helping illuminate the edge of the road, not so much. They definitely light up the road right in front of your bike but they don't really shine too far out in front of the bike like I had hoped. There may be better lights for that out there I don't know.
Biggest problem now I guess, if I want to change them for something else, I will have to buy a new engine guard as this one has holes in it for the wiring.
But, I will say, for helping identify you coming down the road, they really do help that. As I said before they are bright lights. With my Dynamic Custom LED turn signals, driving lights, and now these on the engine guard, I have 7 bright white lights on the front of the bike. If someone can't see me coming now, they shouldn't be driving cause they must be blind.
All in all for what they are, they are OK. I think if I had it to do again, I would look for a set of separate LED spots which could be aimed better and could be removed at some point if I wanted to.
Hope this helps somebody else make a decisison on them. They are good bright lights, just didn't work as well for what I wanted.

Artex... yes, those are the same lights I installed on mine. Mine are vertical instead of horizontal.
And to the other person who mentioned changing the angle. Once these lights are mounted, you can't change the angle because they have sealant holding them to the bar and because of the mounting holes you drill in the bar for the screws.

There are two god reasons to put extra lighting on your bike;
1. To see.
2. To be seen.
Both are on the upper end of importance and safety!
To light up the road and "To See" you'll need something of a projection type, the Daymakers are hard to beat.
The ones you mounted to the crash bars, look and work great, I would keep them for the "Be Seen" reason.

I have them as well. To be honest, I was at a mod shop and the owner has them on his bike. Inside his shop, they're bright as the sun. Immeditely, I had to have them.
So I agree with you, they're really good for letting others know that you're around. I actually keep them on at all time.
But, they're not made to illuminate the road ahead of you. I have them, along with my Truck-lite. and the truck lite is what lets me see the road.
You have them installed already and drilled into your crash bar, keep and enjoy them.

These look nice so I ordered them. I have a sportster and thought they would be perfect for my little bike. When I got them I was disappointed that they did not fit my little crash bars. I don't have a long enough flat section to put them on so I packaged them up just as they had come, contacted the company and was told to send them back for a refund. That was on the 10th of Aug, 2017. It is now Sept 6th and I still have not gotten the refund. I emailed them and still have not received a response. I am very upset as we are talking about $178 here, this is not pocket change. I caution everyone about this company,
