Anyone drive with there high beams /

Anyone drive with there high beams / fog lights on in the day time and do ya think it would do any harm

 

[lookerjdc]

yes and its legal for motorcycles in Florida

 

[asp125]

I do, during the day only. It's a carry over habit from two wheeled motorcycles. They really DON'T see you.. even on a Spyder.

 

[Chupaca]

Let's see..!!

all bikes have lights on constantly. As a matter of fact you can't turn them off. During the day running hi beams make little difference. Running hi beams and driving/fog light just loads the system. I run driving/fogs when needed and hi beam in low lit areas with no oncoming traffic...!!

 

[NancysToy]

Lots of us do. It won't hurt a thing.

. Running hi beams and driving/fog light just loads the system. ...!!

Unless one has extra farkles and lights, I wonder if using hi beams really puts an excessive load on the charging system.

It does not on the Spyder. There is no extra filiment, so the lighting load is the same. It is actuaally a bit higher on low beams, as the shutters are held in position electrically.

My dealership told me to ride with them on :thumbup:in the daytime.

 

[inmate1905]

high beams on always in the day

That is what my owners manual suggests.:doorag:

 

[RotaxDuramax]

The light doesn't change from low to high, just has a shutter that blocks off the upper portion of the light... no change in power consumption.

 

[Jeriatric]

Yes. :doorag:

 

[SpyRyd]

Me...high beams all the time during daytime...whenever possible at night.

 

[SpyderAnn01]

I always use the high beams during the daytime.

 

[Ga Blue Knight]

I use the high beams in the daytime since it does not affect the power use at all. I only use the fog lights in the day time when I am in traffic or on the high way. At night use low beams so not to blind oncoming cars but I always use the fogs to be seen better. If you are running over 4,000 rpm, as you should be, and you have a healthy charging system all should be well.

 

[Bob Denman]

I kind of, "split the difference" up here. VERY low traffic density patterns make it somewhat unnecessary. I'll switch to high beams when I'm in traffic... :thumbup:

 

[Cuban Spyder]

High Beam

Yes, I run high beam during the day.

 

[murphybrown]

Yes

For daytime driving I always have my high beams and fog lights on. :yes:

 

[fyrertuck]

Yes I do. High / fog/ driving lightshyea:

 

[Bob Denman]

Trying to take electrical draw into account; I shut the foglights off until traffic rears it's ugly head... :shocked:

 

[Daisyjoe]

Yes, I run high beam during the day.

DITTO!!!
