Default Are HD Fog Lights bright?

I want to increase myVISIBILITY and I saw the Fog Lights on the Harley-Davidson site. Has anybody seen these in person? Are they as bright as "passing lamps". Any other suggestions?


From the Harley-Davidson web site.

The HD fog lamps are 55W each; passing lamps are 35W each from the factory. I have both and use both on my EG at all times. The fog lamps are a great addition for visibility and a great $$$ value considering they are from HD. Installing the fog lamps was one of the first mods to my bike 2 years ago.

That's good information. I have wondered about them also.

I know that just using my passing lamps adds a lot of light. So, if these are 20W's more, they should add a lot.

I like mine. They brighten up the immediate area in front of your bike. They also let others see you better too. I drilled my crash bar and ran the wiring internally. Looks much cleaner that way.
