So I installed a truck light, nice upgrade, but now I need passing lights also. What are the suggestions for them, heard some don't show good at day time and I want them to, it's all about letting the as sholes see me.
Thanks
Go for it.
The TLP7 Trifecta works great for me BUT -
Good aim of the lights are CRITICAL.
I am not saying blind the oncoming traffic at night, but you must take your time and adjust them to be most effective.
Also, I suggest the passing lamp mod to have them on when the headlight is on bright. Loads of discussion on this, including options to do it. When I ride rural roads in the country at night, I want all the light I can get!
I have the TL7 headlight and passing lamps, what I do with the passing lamps is aim the right one out a little more to the right and the left one a little more to the left, NOT straight ahead...that gives a wider angle of light,,,,,seems to work!!
they are excellent IMO came in a lil under 9 days, great packaging, fit perfect. you have to put your own spade connector on them but other than that no issue!!
Passing lights are a must with the TL7. They give great out front light but lack side to side.
Correct aiming and they are awesome.

I agree to some degree but having the spread equal makes it perfect for me. Different strokes for different folks.

Yep, that's it, and I slightly "Stagger" the vertical line of the beams to stretch that light out.
Not just night benefit, but being visible in the daytime also. I notice reflections during the day, when on bright on curvy roads lots of the time.
I also want to be seen by young Moms with a carload of crazy kids who is also on the phone about to pull out in front of me while I am blaring my Three Cadillac Fleetwood Horns with Her eyes big and out on stems!
I'm saying "Stop dammit".
