+1 on that, installed the headlight and passing lights on our Ultra a couple of weeks ago. We are now snowbirding in southern TX and have been doing some group riding. We were the last bike in a group of six bikes, even on low beam, our headlights were lighting up many of the highway signs in front for the lead bike, when we hit a bump or dip, those signs disappeared. Yet we were not blinding the riders watching us in thier rear view mirrors, go figure. During daytime riding, even when in a group of 20 bikes or more, the bikes up front can always pick us out from the group in thier rear view mirrors. Bang for the buck, one of the best upgrades I've made, I can see and be seen better.

Like to have them, but will have to wait on a good sale (at least 20% or more) before buying. Maybe they'll be standard on the '12 models when I trade!
