Where to mount auxiliary lights

[GoldOxide_imp]

Beware of auxillary lights. I took mine off and they are sitting useless in a box on my tool bench. I bought the Twisted Throttle Denali DM 2.0 lights and installed on my bike last summer with the fork mounts (level with top of fender) ... whole kit cost $300. The ad stated that they increase illumnation and had supporting specs that stated the "spot beam lense" illuminated up to 400ft. Well, the ad lied ! I tried to use these at 3am in the morning between New Mexico and Arizona ... my PIA headlight beam worked better than the Denali lights. I stopped several times and adjusted these up/down, but nothing helped. Very disappointed. I believe the Denalis may serve ok a "visibilty lights" so others can see you from 400ft away, but they don't improve the rider's visibility. I am on the hunt for a "flood" type light system ... looks like Clearwater Lights may do what I want but they cost $600++.

That does sound like a lunchbox letdown. Was the set even good enough as "driving lights", that is, illuminating the area immediately in front of the vehicle?
