Aux driving lights
Im looking for some auxillary driving lights to fit to the front of my bike. Dont really want to pay Touratech prices, have thought about using LED lights but are they bright enough ?
Any alternatives anyone can recommend ?

you dont have to pay TT prices, or wait a year to get them. look at M+P, Hein gericke, busters etc. there are quite a few different lights out there

I have fitted a Hella Rallye 1000 to my sidecar, and had small PIAAs on my R1150GS. The latter made a nice difference to the spread of light, if not the brightness. Well worth it, in my opinion....

How did it go?
Hella Comet FF200 and FF300 with 100W bulbs will be ok, but I prefer the spread of the light from Hella 1000 Rally also with 100W bulbs. Hella Micro DE are small and really good "fog-lights" using +30% bulbs.
Small xenon lights are now on the market:
Biltema Sverige
Micro DE is also available as a driving-light with xenon technology... at a price...
