Who doesn't run passing lights? Does it really make a difference?
I am thinking about saying the heck with the traditional fatboy look and adding two passing lamps nexxt to my head light.
How much less do LED passing lamps drawl than regular? Seems like this would greatly improve my night time ability to see and be seen in the high sun light.

Also look at the rear turn signal conversion to running lights. You replace the amber lenses with red and buy a kit that lets them function as running lights and turn signals. It improves your visibility to cars coming from behind pretty dramatically.

It's a sporty, not a Fat Boy, but I'm sure the effect is the same. These little halogen running lights really help the low beams; unless I'm running higher speeds on a 2 lane, I prefer just using these with low beams, light up beside the road much better (this is deer country, too, so I don't like high speed night runs). They're wired so they only work with the low beams. I'm sure they're more noticeable to cars, too.

I always run with the passing lamps on - high or low beams, day or night. I also ride with the high beams on during the day. I too have the turn signal conversion and consider it a no-brainer upgrade - cheap, easy and looks cool too!

My LED headlight, tail lights and passing lamps are easily the best mods I have made, well worth the money.

I like the passing lights, but for a different reason. A number of years ago I was on a lonley stretch of interstate at night when my headlight went poof!. Total darkness at about 75mph, not a good feeling at all.

The leds are on my wish list but for now I've got the standard headlight with passing lamps. I've ridden bikes with and without passing lamps and they do improve vehicles visibility of you but the biggest thing to me is they greatly improve your visibility of the road at night. I can see much more with my low beam and passing lights on than with my high beam and passing lights off (I gotta figure out how to do the mod to keep passing lights on).
