    Default Fog lights or LED headlights

    Looking to get some better lighting for the wife's '18 F3-T. Going to have to do some here and some there. She wants to have better lighting for her to see at night. If I can only do one right now, what gives better night time light improvement, LED headlights or fog lights?

    LED headlights will give the most usable lighting.

    I agree....LED Headlights are an excellent choice for visually being safe over halogen lighting.

    I have both, LAMONSTER LED headlights and LED fog lights. The headlights project white light far ahead of you. Much brighter than stock. The fog lights turn the ground 15-20 feet ahead of you into daytime! If possible due both together just for the wow factor! If you plan to do a lot of night riding, a few monthly payments on the ole credit card will be considered paid -for on your first ride.

    Depends on your fog lights. I have both LED headlights and fog lights. The aux lights put the headlights to shame.

    I would do both at the same time since you have to pull the fog light panels off to get to the headlights. Why do double labor. Search around and you can probably find take offs that someone is selling.

    I had Spyderpops install both the LED headlights along with LED fog lights last year.

    I bought my aux LED lights many years ago on ebay (China) for around $25. Can't find them any more. They started on a KLR650 > Indian Scout > Yamaha FZ09 > Triumph 800 Tiger > Spyder F3S. I bought them based on the specs of these lights, but at a MUCH cheaper price. If they ever fail, I'll be bummed ..
