I didn't finish the installation until after dark, so I went riding the first night until 11:00 PM. These work lights do an excellent job lighting the area immediately in front of the bike, and to the sides. Huck369 posted the following photographs in his thread, which is linked below.

Huck's first photo shows the low beam, without auxilary lights.



Huck's second photo shows the low beam, with auxiilary lights illuminated.



Huck's photos convinced me to purchase these auxiilary lights. The photographs accurately display the quality of the lighting. I got similar results, and I am very satisfied with these work lights.

The weather has turned very cold, and it is expected to snow tomorrow morning. However, if I have an opportunity to venture out after dark, I will attempt taking a few photographs myself, but don't hold your breath.

P.S. The wind was blowing 21 mph, and the wind chill was 26 degrees. However, the ambient air temperature was 36 degrees.
