What's with the Mercades emblems on the headlights? My '05 lights don't appear that way. 2006 & beyond style?

They look like Adjure Ice headlamps....

I wonder if the lights were worth that price X 2 ??

I'm more curious about the orange color on the bike. Is that a standard color from years past or is that a special order color?

They do come with the Xenon bulbs. And if they produce a better quality, more focused light beam than the factory ones, i'm sold. Bigern

I have been in front of a Rocket with a set of Adjure Ice headlamps. They appear to be well worth the money as his lights were far brighter than mine with xeon bulbs.

The bike has the paint scheme of a 2003 Thunderbird Sport. He had it custom painted earlier this year I believe. It is the nicest looking Rocket going in my opinion right now .

There commonly called "Tri-bar" headlights and we have used them on hotrods and muscle cars for years! The bulb selection is what makes them so bright (I find the top of the line Sylvanias to be the best)... and the focus points are diffent than the stock ones making for a pretty good pattern. They come with differing color dots in the middle.

I got xeon bulbs and while they're definitely brighter, I don't think the pattern provides that much more light.

What do I need to get that will plug right in that will give lighting as good as my car? Part number and web link would be appreciated.

I love the Triumph Fog Light kit. I actually think they act more like driving lights than fog lights. As far as throwing off as much light as a car, I don't know any bike that does a job that well. It might have to do more with how far apart the headlights are from each other in an automobile.
