Another "always on" vote here. Who knows they may have already got the attention of some idiot cager and stopped him from turning left right in front of me.

Always on unless I'm in a pack, then I don't want to blind the mirrors of the guy in front of me...

I just looked at the wiring schematics.
Tomorrow I'm going to wire it so I can have them run when the high beam is on!

My Bosch headlight floods the road on high beam but doesn't cover much on the sides.
It's nice to be able to see the critters in the ditches!

The only time mine go off, is when I am riding in a group, and not in the lead, or sweep position. The group I ride with, all turn them off unless in those twop spots, so that the lead rider can easily see where his "Sweep" is located.
