On the Ultra low beam with the driving lights
But on the Dyna brights because the low beam is almost imposable to see.
On my former Street Glide I ran the brights in the daytime for the same reason as the Dyna

High beams during the day...being seen is of utmost importance.
And if my high beams **** you off momentarily, sorry but atleast
you noticed me and didn't turn in or pull out in front of me.

I'm running a set of PIAA extreme white headlights along with
the Custom Dynamics moonshinez directionals.

I had a damaged headlight connector, went to discount auto and bought a new one which got me to thinking... a scary thought LOL

I decided to hook up the low and high beam connector backwards, then adjusted the headlight down a little. This allows me to run the high beam with the running lights. Its real bright day or night with both on. Rarely do I get a cager complain about them but then again, I dont care if they like em or not. Being seen is more important to me than their comfort level. Just my .02

Usually the low beams with the passing lamps, sometimes the high beam with the Kissan flasher...

But this long weekend I may just run a Gin & Tonic with a glow-stick in it! LOL!!!
