[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1154023, member: 3828"] I's just like to chime in again about my LR4's and dimmers bought from Justin (aka LEDRider) last winter. I love those things!! I have them mounted up high using the Gen 1 light brackets made by WynPro Engineering (aka 08FJR4ME) and have been using them mostly as daytime conspicuity lights. For that purpose, with the dimmer set to around 30% bright along with the ow beams, I think they are working better than just running around with my halogen High Beams all of the time. And if I flip my high beams on just before making a pass on a 2-lane, there is much less chance that the cage or truck will not see me in their side rearview mirror while I go by. I think the dimmed light, because it is Pulse Width Modulated, even though it is at a rate that is hard to "see", I think the brain is filling in between the bright flashes and doing some averaging because it sure seems to be much more attention getting that the brightness alone is responsible for. I've not yet spent much time riding with them at night (I'm not much of a night-time rider) but based on the little I have I can say that they greatly improve the forward illumination, possibly on a par with an HID retrofit, but with none of the High Beam beam pattern issues the retrofit produces. Basically, if you are considering adding some aux lighting to your bike, these things are definitely the way to go, and at a very reasonable investment. [/QUOTE]
