Thought I would share, thrilled withthe results

[Willie]

FYI, anyone looking for inexpensive Driving Lights, this is what I did for $35.00

These lights are very bright and will make you much more visible.

Nice! If you get a chance, I'd like to see some night pics of the beam pattern

 

[lue42]

How did you connect them to the bike? Straight to battery or do you have a accessory outlet, etc?

 

[StratTuner]

Very clean install! Well done.

That is good to hear Willie. Those are the same lights I installed on my NC - Skookum. I wired them into the bike using a Skene Controller and mounted them on the Givi engine guards. They make a huge difference when I am riding the dark little two-lane road that I use every day during my commute. During the darkest hours of winter, they make that stretch of road a lot more comfortable. Aimed properly, they give me a wider view AND more light intensity down the road.

I went directly off battery with a fuse, just trying to save some cash, the Honda Adaptor relay kit was to much I thought. I put a reminder on my mirror to shut the lights off after the ride.

HarveyM, I will try to get some might immsges, but FYI, they were installed for better daytime visibility, but are very bright.

This may not appeal to some of you, but I wired my supplemental led lights to the high beam contact on my headlight bulb. At 1-2 amps on top of ~5, the existing wiring and switch handles it with no problem in 10,000 miles of riding. I use mainly for visibility during the day (white hot LEDs are attention getting), and the results are startling. At night, I'm on low beam when in traffic and high when on an empty road or to flash when I think a car is not acknowledging my presence.
Setting my beams for best pattern takes some trial and error; I spread them a bit because I am mostly concerned about deer (rural NC).
Simple and very intuitive.

Hey Willie, did the mounting bracket come with the lights or did you make them? Oh, price of the lights were down to $19 yesterday, I ordered a set

 

[superdedooperman]

Great job! I love the position of those. It will certainly help daytime visibility. That is precisely why I added some to my bike, as well. Good thinking to put yourself a reminder about turning the lights off.

Out of curiosity, how much were the harness and relay kit you priced? I believe I paid $35 shipped for both and gives me the option to add more accessories under switched power, rather than straight to the battery. Just wondering if that was the price you were talking about being too high?

I wonder why you picked this

over this

Amazon.com: WEISIJI Motorcycle Driving Lights,10W 2inch LED Work Light Fog Lights for Harley Yamaha Motorcycles(2Pcs 10w spot): Automotive

Also, did the same mounting bolt fit the existing hole and the thread ?

Thanks,

Good job, I did very much the same on mine but used mountings from a local light store here in South Africa.

Yes, Brsckets were included, I just had to visit my local Hardware store for longer bolts, Iused stainless steel bolts.

 

[Willie]

Actually, the cost reference was for the auxillary outlet kit. I think it was around $65 to $70 bucks

 

[davidc83]

Done. I had ordered the same as Willie, got them mounted with the off/on switch (switched relay to the battery with a 10 AMP in-line fuse). I took some pics, but they are terrible. Better pics at a later time.
I was able to use the original fender bolts on the bike. The mounting screw with the u bracket was not the correct size. The u bracket had little shoulders where the bolt went thru the hole (to keep the bolt from turning) which kept the original fender bolts a tad too short. The u bracket fit over my grinding wheel so I ground down the 2 little shoulders and wallah, the fender bolts were long enough to mount the brackets.

I didn't install for added light at night (but there is an improvement). They really can be seen during the daytime hours.

Hey Superddedooperman, I think I priced thru eBay, would you care to share your source?
