Location of PIAA Lights...and headlight modulator recommendations

[TheBucket]

Just bought a 2015 S10 pretty much completely farkled up...It has the PIAA lights located right underneath the headlights. I'd like to move them low and wide...create a larger front end light profile. Any thoughts/suggestions/bracket part numbers please?
On a similar note, would like to get a headlight modulator. Have had one on my Victory XCT for years...absolutely convinced it's saved me on countless occasions. What's the best one for S10?
It's ALL about being seen.
Thanks all. Loving this new ride

I've mounted my lights on crash bars. Not sure if there's a good way to get wider without a those to serve for mounting the brackets. Maybe others have creative ideas.

if you have yamaha oem crash bars there are holes on the top sides so you can mount those lights on the crash bars or under the headlight
you need these brackets to mount on crash bars

Denali makes a bracket that puts the lights out and just a bit lower than the headlights. As for the modulator, maybe check out Skene lights. I recently purchased the IQ275 which allows the lights to be dimmed using the low beams, and full bright on brights.

here you go xt1200 with oem crash bars with oem lights fitted

 

[bimota]

basically the oem crash bars have a screw hole both sides for the brackets to fit to to hold the oem spots on the crash bars as in picture above and this one

 

[bimota]

i had my oem lights fitted from new under the headlight, i did not have oem crash bars at the time so they were fitted under the headlight but the spot light kit came with the 2 sets of brackets 1 for under headlight and 1 set for oem crash bars so the dealer gave me the side brackets as spares

hope this helps

I hate riding with somebody behind me with a modulator. Annoying and a distraction. They won’t save you. Fire trucks with lights and sirens blaring get pulled out in front of.

I believe that is the entire point Tenmen. If it's annoying to you, imagine how annoying it is to the cager about to turn left in front of me.
