| After doing a lot of research, I decided I wanted the Rivco driving lights. I put on 35,000 miles the first year I had my 2018 Honda Goldwing, and one thing I did not like about the headlights was the focused pattern of the lights, at night! Sure, they are great headlights. However, while I don't prefer to ride at night, there was times I had to. When I did and had to lean on a curve, I noticed that the focused light pattern of the headlamps gave me very little visibility on curves at night. If you don't have a 2018+, let me tell you that the focused beam headlamps (while awesome) create a line of light. When you bank into a turn at night, you lose visibility where you need it most. The "line of light" goes into the road about 5 foot ahead of you. I wanted something to aid my night-time driving, and the last thing I wanted was another focused beam light. First off, they are bright to aid in visibility of the motorcycle in daytime driving. But far more importantly, if you have to ride at night in curves, they give you a more spread pattern (more like a floodlight), for curves. That is exactly what I wanted. The install was easy and smooth, and I am no motorcycle mechanic. The price was exceptional for what you are getting. I know some would prefer a more focused beam pattern, but that is not what I wanted. I now have way more confident with the visibility I have on curves at night. |

| These lights are perfect! Extra light during the night, plus no one can say they didn't see you during the day. I highly recommend! |

| installing wasn't hard. very bright . It is easy to adjust so it doesn't bother oncoming vehicles. And nobody will be able to claim they never saw you. |

| Installation was straight forward and not having to take the instrument panel apart to add a switch was a big plus. I installed these to make us easier to see to other traffic. Rode behind a friend and he said I looked like a logging truck coming up. |

| Install was a breeze. 6000 lumens provide the best "see and be seen" that any rider could ask for! |

| These lights do a very nice job lighting the way on the intermediate distance ahead. The install went fairly easily using cruiseman video. The printed directions were ok and proved very useful to connect the switch wires to the control unit |

| These lights provide much improved flood lighting for the rider at night and excellent lighting for oncoming traffic to see you in daylight. Electrical connections could be better quality, however I sealed each with heat shrink tape and installed all wiring inside 1/4†wire loom for additional protection. The double stick tape for the on off switch is cheap. One of the LED lamps was defective out of the box. I called Rivco and they wanted to test the defective lamp at their facility before sending a replacement. That idea sucks! I wanted a replacement lamp sent out and would gladly return the defect with their return label. I called Wingstuff and spoke to Mark. He called me back an hour later and said Rivco told him they would send a replacement as soon as I cut the cable off the lamp to show it was destroyed and email a photo. Thanks Mark!! Install takes about an hour. I would recommend that you test each lamp prior to installation and complete the mechanical adjustments, including installing the cowl covers before making final electrical connections. The replacement lamp sent out had the attaching bracket between the heat sink and lamp body installed backwards, causing the lamp to stick out 3/8†outside the cover. Once I turned it around it fit perfectly inside the cover. The lens covers are thin, so we’ll see how well they hold up. |

| Install is straight forward, easy adjustment and wow these lights are bright, very pleased with increased visibility. Having no factory on off switch was for me an easy tradeoff for not having to disassemble all the body work. |

This kit is a winner, plenty of lumens and easy install vs. the Honda kit. Much brighter too. The only downside is if you stick the switch intead of mounting it, the two sided tape comes loose. I love them! |

I will admit, I am a Rivco Product fan. Some may call me a Rivco groupie. But like every great musical group, clinkers are produced every now and then. I am not a fan of these lights. The engineering and quality hardware-wise are all Rivco EXCELLENCE! But the light they produce are sucked into a dark hole at 15 to 20 feet from my perspective in the driver seat. LED lights are notorious for being extremely bright, but that light diffuses after just a short distance. Oncoming traffic will see the LED lights, but that same light does me little good for seeing. As a motorcyclist we want see as well as be seen, so these get us part way there. The installation of these lights are pretty straight forward and not difficult. The lights when turned on operate all the time. That is during high and low beam, and (this kind of sucks) when bike ignition is in accessory mode. So be aware in the summer time when sitting there listening to your radio with your engine off waiting for construction your driver lights maybe on, draining your battery. LED lights that do work really well go through a magnification projector lens, unfortunately these LED light do not, and that is why I only give this product 2 stars. For this price I do expect....more light further for me to see. Ride Safe! |
