I have them and I like them. I think they make the bike stand out a lot when they are on, it's nice to be seen.  I'll try and get some pics for you of them both on the bike and on at night so you can see the light pattern they give.

I'm interested in these pics too - fancy a bars / sump guard / lamps combo!

Here we go, sorry it took so long.

I like the fact that they make the bike so visible to other road users at night and that on a dark country road they light up pot hole and muck on the road nicely.  Having said this I have seen youtube video reviews of other lights which seem to be considerably brighter with a better light pattern.

cool pics - they add a lot of light.

I'm a little worried about the reports of bulbs going very frequently and also that they don't accept std H3 bulbs without modifying the cabling - any thoughts on this?

also - any pics of the installation - where / how the mount on the bars, cable routes etc - I note you have changed your avatar to show the bike "post-fitting".

thanks,

I have had the bike a year, to be honest I tend to run with the lights on in anything other than the good daylight just to be sure I am seen.  They were fitted to the bike when I bought it so I have no idea about how they are wired in. I think they are straight on the battery, there is a separate switch to operate them.

I will try and find / post some pics of where they are mounted on the bars for you

Hi I've just fitted these to my new glee. The lights are great I mounted these to my engine bar on the top bar with the lights under this bar
The wiring was great easy to work out I lifted the tank not removed just enough to see and work under it' removing the tank would of been better but a lot more work if u want more info pm me
