Question HD LED Headlamp

I noticed yesterday a couple of you had the HD LED Headlamp and Passing lamps. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see them fired up. What's the real deal with people saying they're not visible during the day time?

Have "NEVER" had anyone tell me they can't see them in the daytime after they have ridden with me. People see them, LED lights, and love their visibility in daylight. Most just don't seem to like the price of the HD LED lights.

I have ridden a couple miles with Rick and I can confirm that his lights are very easy to see in the daytime.

Mine are bright during the day. At night I like low beam in all situations... Maybe the fact that the passing lamps are on too, but I can see a lot better. High beam seems to light up overhead signs better, but not distance.

Thanks guys. I read in the touring forum many folks saying the're not visible during day vs. the truck light. The TL may be much less, but I just can't get over the looks of thing. The HD headlamp and passing lamps look so much better. As for lighting up the road, both appear to get rave reviews.... I'll just save my pennies.

Love my LED's. Not only do the LED's give a much more natural white light out and increased vision at night, they consumer less power. Power consumption gets more important to the tourist bike with gadgets(GPS, Satradio, Radar detector, charging your phone, power for your SPOT unit, etc...).
I would like to wire the spots so they run while high beam is on though, the spots work for me 90% of the time. Never have had anyone tell me they couldn't see me.......riders that is.....
