Got a set of Leds from a vendor over on ADVrider. Used Techmount mounting brackets on my Altrider crash bars. Lights are dimmable via a wireless fob that I have mounted right next to my high/low beam switch. Right side is a flood pattern and inboard is a spot patteren. I could start the brush on fire on the sides of the road! I could not see spending BIG $$$ on Aux. lighting that might not fair well in a tip over or get off. $250ish dollars for the entire set up. I have pics but their size won't let me put them on this sight??

For those of you with fog lights I was wondering if they help fill in the void when you are leaning in a turn? I notice that the stock headlamps with their sharp cutoff leave a dark spot in the road when you are leaned into a turn. I want to add some fog lights for better lighting and to solve the dark spot.

Reports about the OEM fog lights say they do well in that role. I would think most any light with a fog beam pattern would help though.

I've been looking at the LED's with the fog lens option for that very reason. Dark corners are nerve wracking.

I'd like to mount Denali D1's 4-wide, 2 with fog pattern and 2 with driving light pattern....but GAWD that adds up $$. Will probably have to settle for the fogs first since they are the most pressing need.

@bundu: Just today a friend of mine showed me the same problem with OEM lights (five months old) In one the same issue, in the other a strange red colour in the "cover" of the bulb. They will be replaced in warranty.
