Yes, I agree, the stock light is very good. I don't know why other brands only burn one bulb at a time?
I work at night, so it's always dark and I only use the aux lights to be more visible to the Zombies.
Re: Rigid Ind lights. Their video shows them shooting them with a shot gun and beating with a sledge! Not cheap, but you get what you pay for, the Triumph lights are actually made in China!

Performance.... As in Shrewsbury? That's the one I ended up at to make a pickup a few weeks ago. No luck.

Anyway, for a "back ordered" item... They came in yesterday despite the fact I ordered them Sunday night. Todays mission is to install those along with the Motech headlight protectors that my wife grabbed for Christmas. I love this woman.

I couldn't handle the brushed aluminum guards for the lights, they match nothing on the 2012. They are currently swinging in the breeze in front of the Illudium238 Wood Demodulator with a nice coat of satin black. Aluminum isn't the greatest thing to get paint to stick to, but if it doesn't work I have plenty of ways to remove it.

Ok, I'm reviving another older thread... Does anyone run these during normal daylight riding just for increased cager visibility?

I do most of the time. I believe that it not only increases visibility to cagers, but also gives them more to triangulate on for judging your speed and distance. I found I have far fewer incidents of people pulling out or turning in front of me when they are on.

Likewise.

The only time I don't run them day is when I'm with a couple other riders and as a group we're more visible by that alone.
