| Motorcycle lighting extraordinaire |
I have mounted a pair of these on my BMW R1100RS. They complement the existing headlight by creating a triangle of bright lights, which makes the motorcycle conspicuous and provides oncoming vehicles with a visual reference for depth perception. Thus they are a safety feature. At night, they are significantly brighter than the headlight, and the beam pattern provides excellent visibility of either straight or curvy roads. The 110W power demand is manageable for my alternator. The units were easy to install, and the PIAA literature is clear and easy to understand. I have two minor criticisms. First, the housings are made of relatively flimsy plastic. My previous PIAA lamps had a heavier plastic housing but one was still broken by a stray rock. I would have preferred a metal housing. Second, the lamps are not easy to mount if you don't happen to have a rigid horizontal surface handy that you can drill into. I wish PIAA made mounting kits to allow mounting to vertical surfaces or round bars. Still, I would buy these again based on what the competition is currently offering. |
