I went in on the group buy from Jaxon for the Squadron aux lights. Love 'em! I turn them on whenever I'm on the road (at about 50% power). See and be seen.

This is probably completely between my ears, but since installing these lights it seems that traffic gets out of the way more than before. If I come up behind someone on the highway, it generally doesn't take long for them to change lanes to let me by. ::019:: And this is not an isolated incident. It happens all the time. Maybe these lights make me that much more visible?

Anyone else experienced this? Or is the Texas heat getting to me?

Yep - used to ride my Vstrom on low beam, it was like no one saw me. So I started riding with my high beam on and people started to move. I installed the square Denali led lights on my S10 that were available wayyy back. Nice and bright and look good too.

Probably don't like you drilling holes in the back of their head with your flame throwers. Turn them up to 100% and they will probably move over while you are still a mile away. ::26:: ::26::

Stock lights arn't bad for others seeing you coming, as long as they are adjusted properly. In most cases from the factory the lights are adjusted way too LOW. Put a couple of washers under the 2 bolts under the headlights to bring them UP and check out the lights then. Huge difference. I see way too many bikes coming towards me with what looks like weak head lights. Adjust those babies UP! ::001::

You guy's really need to try what Red Cat is saying because he did to my bike and wow. Simple and it is very efficent.

Thanks again Red Cat to make me more visible and safer on the road. Toyamaha.
