    Auxiliary driving lights

    Anyone have them? Is there enough power to run them? Any pics would be great

    Just a question about lights, has anybody rewired to allow low and high beams on at the same time??? I can kind of hold the switch in the middle and have both on but not very good.

    You can add driving lights but need to watch the wattage. I would say you can ran a pair of 15-20 watt, not 35-50's.

    EBR said it numerous times that you shouldn't run high and low at the same time. The heat sink can not support both lights being on and would burn up..

    So, heated gear is a no-go? I have always worried about the capacity.

    If you pull apart the left switch housing, you can grind a little detent in the middle of the switch cam and that will give you and middle button position to run both on at the same time.

    The headlight module has 2 heatsinks for the LED headlights. I assumed that one was for each bulb so running both would be ok.

    But if Terry is right..."EBR said it numerous times that you shouldn't run high and low at the same time. The heat sink can not support both lights being on and would burn up.."

    With the very minimal extra wattage available, and the whole headlight housing being a 'replacement only' deal, I don't think I'd risk it either. YMMV.
