I installed the plasma rods on my bike yesterday. At first, I installed the rods using the approach as described in post #1. I went to Home Depot, bought the 3/4 round moulding pieces, trimmed them to size, and mounted the moldings to the bike using the red 3M tape. And I mounted the rods sideways as the post says.
I rode the bike around during the day today to see how bright these lights are in the sun. I didn't like them, because they are not bright enough. So I decided to remount the rods by having them face straight back -- as the manufacturer said to do. Much better now. With the light facing straight back as it's designed, I get a wider beam of light than when the rods were sideways. And, of course, I get brighter lights.

You will not be disappointed. You'll drop your MPG due to twisting that throttle to hear that awesome growl...lol..and I'm sure since they are double fluted, you'll need a few more beers when cleaning then up.

See post #1 on the quarter round. I didn't use it though. I siliconed mine to the verticle saddlebag supports. They kinda fit right in the groove of the support. I think they are much brighter looking strait on at them versus a side view if you use the quarter round. Just my opinion.
