Brilliant! Pardon my pun.
They look to have a better range that my LED bar light with a similar spread too.
You can't have enough light on the roads with all the wildlife up this way.

Nice job Geoff can you get a night pic when out and about. Whilst on lights Im just about to put headlight together was damaged and out of round,is there a rubber surround that fits between the shell and inner chrome surround I cannot remember as there is a small gap and there are no signs in books or photos Coops.

with my new direction of career, I find myself needing more light for spotting the hoppies,,
so after sitting in front of the bike for a while, this is what I,ve arrived at

wide enough to clear the front guard under undue braking, but without impeding on the blinkers

forward enough to clear the fork seals
 
as you can see I used the bottom bikini fairing bolts with a light 50mm angle,, I had to use a small length of pipe to clear the brake "T" piece

all things HID, ballasts and resistors are on a bracket where the tool box used to sit, thanx to my wholesale HID sales rep Ev :)

I,ve had the little lite force lights for years so have thrown hid bulbs in them for extra ilumination
