Default Question for folks with engine guard lights



I've got the chrome engine guard lights shown in the pic above mounted on my Road King. I find that I get a lot of glaring reflection off the chrome front end and windshield, which are in front of the lights. It's pretty distracting on dark roads and I'm wondering if anyone else with these lights has been bothered by this and come up with a solution??

Any info/advice is much appreciated!

I used to get reflection from the backs of my turn signals. Sorry , I don't have a solution. I changed the whole fairing to a road glide, but I don't recommend that as an answer.

Yes they do throw off a lot of indirect side light. That is what I noticed on my 07 SG also and they are aimed correctly. Thank goodness I have the batwing fairing. To bad the moco doesn't make a visor cap to put on them.

Thanks for all the comments. I was also thinking visor caps would be an ideal solution, shame nothing's available.

Will look for a place on the bike to relocate them to, otherwise they'll be relocated to Ebay!
