Where to mount auxiliary lights

[Stichill_imp]

Gee, incredible price. The demonstration illumination example appears quite strong.

They are pretty darn good for the money. In case of further interest, here's an installation overview of [url=http://stores.advmonster.com/model-30-led-off-road-spot-light/]advmonster.com Model 30 LED spots on my F800GT.

While the ADVmonster Model 30 lights look good, I wasn't completely sold on their wiring kits due to poor documentation and tech support when I asked for assistance in selecting the proper harness. So I decided to use a [url=https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_155517088409914&key=6e3add1c248ed967a7b78de325215f48&libId=jufokg7m01001khl000DAex32vzmn&loc=https%3A%2F%2Ff800riders.org%2Fforum%2Fshowthread.php%2F278233-ADVMonster-Model-30-LED-Spotlights%3Fhighlight%3DModel&v=1&opt=true&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.revzilla.com%2Fmotorcycle%2Fdenali-d1-wiring-harness&ref=https%3A%2F%2Ff800riders.org%2Fforum%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearchid%3D14807871&title=ADVMonster%20Model%2030%20LED%20Spotlights%20-%20BMW%20F800%20Riders%20Forum%20%26%20Registry&txt=%3Cfont%20color%3D%22%230000ff%22%3EDenali%20D1%20wiring%20harness%3C%2F​font%3E]Denali D1 wiring harness, which comes complete with a pilot relay, lighted* on/off switch (*lighted in the on position only) and two leads heading out to the spot lights. I didn't have matching connectors on the Model 30 flying leads, so I clipped off the ones at the ends of the Denali switched legs and crimped on insulated spade terminals. I made them male/female and female/male on the Pos and Neg wires to avoid backwards re-connections in the future. Rather than pilot the relay with a running light wire, I connected the pilot wire to the high beam wire on the bike. It's nice to be able to dip these spots at night by using the high beam switch vs. the on/off button.
