Default Spot Lights
Just wondering how many of you guys use the spot lights on your bike all the time. I usually just turn mine on when it gets dark, but I've seen many riding around with them on all the time. I guess anything that helps be seen is a good idea. Any pros or cons to leaving them on aside from visibility?

Only when I'm ridding. It tends to drain the battery otherwise.

Allways! Why else would you have them? Quite a bit of difference in visibility between one headlight and three, especially during the day.

Always on here, and with Nokia Hyper Yellow bulbs. Anything to be seen better.
