Default Best ideas for driving lights?

I am going to want more light on the front, either highway bar mounted driving lights, or maybe the nicer large spots like the factory tourer's have. I don't mind the looks of those at all really. In fact that batwing looks kinda bare from the front without them sometimes.

Been thinking of the same thing for my Street Glide. Although I really do like the simple sleek look of the bare batwing I would like to have more light. Trying to decide.

I've seen some PIAAs that you can barely tell are there until they are on.

Wallyworld lights for $20! I guess I'll have to dig the pics up again.

for visibility or to see better? I recommend MotoLights for visibility. Actually, at night, they do shed more light on the road. But that's not their intent...they're to be SEEN. Expensive, but hard to beat. I'm told I look like a freight train coming at you. My friend has them and in my rearview mirror...well, all I can say is they make a HUGE difference.

https://www.motolight.com/ if you go to their website...click "videos" and then "civilian videos"...pretty much shows what a difference these things make.

The photos really don't show how much of a difference they make. There is something about seeing a bike with these (bright) lights down low coming at you that grabs your attention like nothing else. I guess because our brains are used to seeing lights at a certain level...something different stands out more IMO.

Oh, and so far, I've not been flashed nor have I heard any negative comments from people I've ridden with.

I like the HD-fog lamps....$125 complete...


Lights up the night, and everyone says they stand out during daylight

my only question about the motolites is, how long would the halogen bulbs last with the beating they would take from the potholes we deal with here. being mounted on the lower legs has got to beat them up a bit..

I got the HD fog lights.
I like the looks of them and they are very bright.
I ran the wires inside the crash bars for a nice clean look. And as far as Harley stuff goes not real expensive.
