I can see these lights being a good addition to virtually any bike.

I took a 30-mile ride this morning. When I finished the temperature was 36 degrees Fahrenheit, and the wind chill was 26 degrees Fahrenheit. However, at least it stopped raining for a few hours.
Here are some photos of the lighted auxiliary lights. The lights actually appear much brighter to the eye than was captured by the camera.

Looks great, Spud! I'm thinking I might have to do this as well! Have you been able to turn on the lights at night to see how well it illuminates the road forward and to the side?
And riding in 26 degree weather with wind chill! (And there's always wind chill on a bike!) Wow! Well done! I don't think I have any gear that will keep me comfortable at that temperature! |

http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=15356 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.

http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=13163 I also enjoyed the warmth from my Oxford heated grips, which I installed concurrently with the auxiliary lights. http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...545#post196545 P.S. The Milwaukee heated jacket (Chinese clone) is my regular winter coat. I love it.

Funny, I was just thinking about that jacket the other day. Have you had to replace the battery packs yet?

Yes, the battery packs wear out after a while. But I also ruined several packs when my voltage cutoff circuit died. Check out my heated jacket thread; I am posting updates.

I have been seeing more and more bikes with led work lights, I think I am going to wire mine to always on instead of on with high beams

I was tempted to do the same. However, I like keeping the extra current on another wire, with another fuse. Also, I like being able to turn the auxiliary lights off when starting the motorcycle, which reduces the load on the battery. As soon as the bike starts, I flip the A1 switch, and the auxiliary lights are illuminated.

I wanted to supplement my Tractor Supply flood lights with spot lights to enhance the illumination of the headlight. Therefore, I purchased a pair of 10W Mini-Aux, LED spot lights from SuperBrightLEDs.com.
https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...rk-light/1699/ I purchased the spot lights with the 10-degree beam angle, which is shown in the upper left part of the photograph below.
