I’ve heard that some people have issues with fogging in LED lights. Anyone else experienced that? How do you prevent it?

Also, remember about the switch placement! You don’t want to be fumbling to find it while riding. Safety and ease of use are important!

Exactly! I mounted mine on the left handlebar for quick access. Has worked like a charm!

24

I find that some brands are definitely better than others for durability. What brands does everyone recommend?

25

I swear by Rigid Industries. They’re a bit pricey but worth every penny for quality!

26

I’ve been looking into auxiliary lights too! Just a heads up, many states have specific laws about brightness and colors to avoid confusion with emergency vehicles. Make sure to check your local regulations before you buy.

Good point! In my state, you can only use white or amber lights. Anything else could get you pulled over.

I read that some states even have laws about how many auxiliary lights you can have. It might be wise to look up your local laws directly.

That’s true, and don’t forget about the wattage limits! It’s wild how different it can be from one place to another!

Honestly, I think some regulations are a bit over the top. I mean, if the lights help improve visibility, why limit brightness? But yeah, safety first!

I completely agree with you, @shelby58. But just like you said, it’s important to balance brightness with safety and legality. Better safe than sorry!

Does anyone know if using colored lights, like blue or red, is legal for personal motorcycles at all? Those seem to be the coolest!

33

Unfortunately, red and blue are generally reserved for emergency vehicles. Better to stick with amber or white to stay on the safe side.

34

I’ve had a lot of fun experimenting with different lights, but it can be frustrating to keep up with all the regulations. It’s like a full-time job just figuring out what’s legal!

35

True! I feel like I need a law degree just to choose lights for my bike! Maybe I should just stick to riding instead!

At the end of the day, do what feels right for you and your ride. Just be informed and check in with local authorities for the latest updates!
