Anyone tried Denali Spotlights? Can a switch be added to dash?

[Snoozer]

Has any one mounted a set of Denali D2 or Denali Sm spotlights on your spyder? I know they are a bit pricey but I like the ability to use a low and high light. Also, can a switch like the other switches already on the spyder be added to the dash.

I've mounted the Denalis. They're a class act.

I used their harness wiring, including switch. I imagine if you're handy with those kinds of things, you could substitute a different switch.

:agree: ..... I haven't asses these yet, but I have seen " user " video's and I am quite impressed .... They also have " D-7's " which throw even more light :clap: .................. Question to Pete, what do you think of yours ???? do they make a noticeable difference ... or do you think the D-7's might have been a better choice ???? ..........Thank ...Mike :thumbup:

Hi Mike, if I were to do more desert night riding (not so uncommon as a tactic for avoiding extreme heat) I'd probably add something like the D-7s because the open desert really soaks up light. But, given my current and likely riding style, the original lights I've mounted are more than adequate for back country roads at dusk.

Yes, they make a noticeable difference; the light throws much further down the road than the LED headlights. That's in part because I've mounted them up higher, on my plastic air deflectors. I think it's a mistake to mount them low on the A-arms as most people do.

I had the D7s on a previous bike - and they are the best there is. Denali's DataDim technology is brilliant. I love their line. Their new D3s are nice - but you need to choose fog or driving. With the D7s, you get both in a single kit (they are jsut big and heavy). D2s are maybe the best bang for the buck

Excellent --- this is the kind of " real life " review that defines products ...... thanks Mike :thumbup:

Thank you Pete for this info ..... I've bought lots of LED - DRL's .... and after testing wasn't very impressed ......Mike :thumbup:

Thank you for all of the input. I just may have some Denali's in my future.

If you do get them a review would be helpful to all of us ...... Thanks .... Mike :thumbup:

This is the question I am curious about. I know the switch can be added, I'm just wondering where one can be purchased.

Amazon has them for sure

@UtahPete; I was talking about a Can-Am oem switch. They must exist since the 2nd slot from the right slot does not have a switch and it is designated for additional lightning to be added.

I installed the led lightbar from slingmods.. basically because the blank switch was bothering me, the switch lights blue but since its switching a light it doesnt bother me much.

I'm pretty sure the Can-Am switches are generic.

I have Baja Designs lights. I bought an Aftermarket switch from Aliexpress that was the same as those in the switch block (mines a 2017 RTL) Works nicely

I know if you buy foglights from LaMonster a switch come with the kit. He might be a source of the switch you want.

Agreed. Your switch looks like it belongs there.

That makes sense. Since I don't have my Spyder yet I didn't have anything for reference. As long as it is a standard size I'm sure you are right. They can be had most anywhere.

That's a good idea. I'll check with them.

Thanks all for the replies!

I have two more questions. If I add the Denali lights which is the best option in your opinion, The D2's or the SM's? I will mainly use these for day time use to be seen. Also is it necessary to have the hi/low option as I just plan to have them on all the time. You input would be appreciated.

I called today, and was informed that they do not sell the switch by itself.

IMHO if you only want / need lights in the daytime buy anything that's less expensive ( check on E-bay )....if you can make them " blink " that would be even better.... Mike :thumbup:
