I have been giving tis some thought, with all of the blue hairs driving down here anything to be seen during the day will be great. SO here is my question. Does it matter if you have an amber lens and white bulb, or a clear lens and an amber bulb? Which would be they better set up? I think I saw some PIAA amber lights that would work.
I was also thinking of doing the mod where the passing lamps will stay on even if the brights are on.

Thanks,

 

Can get the Cee Bailey armor shields and you won't have to worry about changing everything.

 

I'm runnin sealed beams in mine, (amber). I keep them on 24/7. Sometimes at night I will have people flash their lights at me (they are kinda bright), and I simply turn the passing lamps off until they are gone. Daytime use no prob.

 

I run the Harley fog lights on the crash bars. This is a bright set up. A buddy of mine saw me coming from a distance and all 5 lights kind of blend in together in brightness. His quote was that I looked like a frikken locomotive coming at him. I also use the soft lowers with them. I just cut out a couple of holes in the fabric.

 

I run a pair of Wagner 4415A sealed beams on my 09 and like them very much.
These are screw terminal bulbs , fluted lense , amber.
They have a much wider beam spread at 40 degrees a opposed to the stock 8 degrees.
They're also 35 watt , and no problem for the stock wiring.
It "seems" as though "less" people try to turn in front of me at the last minute than when I ran with the stock setup.
Our local HOG road captain says they are noticeable enough , that he likes me at the rear of a group ride , so he knows where the last bike is.
Aim is critical (and aiming them is a pain) but I feel that it was a worthwhile mod to do.
I can buy these local for about $8.50 per and their lifespan is fairly short compared to stock.

I,ve been running them for a year and everyone says i,m more visible during the day.

 

What sealed beams do you use? Where would I be able to get a set?

 

Local auto parts house...... Wagner 4415A amber sealed beam lamps.....

Very nice!!

 

Good link dawg.

Thanks. Might be coloring my passing lamps.

 

I'm tempted to do the same. What's involved in mounting them? Do I have to take the outer fairing off to completely remove the 2 passing lamp assemblies or I just have to unscrew the outer rings from the housings to replace the sealed beams? I have an 09 Ultra.
Thanks.
