Anyone installed the OEM auxiliary light on the front?

[Hancop]

Has anyone installed the OEM Auxiliary Light on the front? Is it bright and add enough to the overall night viewing experience to make it worth it?
I have seen some aftermarket lights also for much cheaper, like the EvolutionR Series plug n play LED aux Running Light Bar from slingmods.com. Anyone installed this one, is it worth it?
Anyone installed any other manufacturers lights that are good?
I only want to install one if it adds to the actual night lighting experience; I don’t want it just for looks.

Thanks

Un-fortunately, considering the cost they won't give you what you want ...... Go look at what DENALI has, yep, they are expensive but are well worth the money .... They also have very good sales prices .... just get on their mailing (e-mail) list .... last year I bought a (now) $400.00 LED set for $100 ..... Good Luck ....

Ps: their Videos are quite accurate in what you can expect to see .... Mike :thumbup:

You REALLY need to tell us what Spyder model and year you're talking about - ideally, by adding your Spyder's model and year info to your sig line as per the Sticky at the top of the section (you REALLY should also read the rest of the Stickies, they have a LOT of info that will help you get the best from the Forum! :thumbup: )

The Sticky of specific interest here is this one:

https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...l-Add-your-Spyder-Year-model-to-your-Sig-Line!

Off the top if my head, I think it's post #4 that gives you step-by-step instructions, but I'm sure you'll work it out if you read the Sticky! hyea:

Mind you, there's almost certainly a LOT of earlier discussion on these lights that may well answer all or at least some of your questions about them, if you make the effort to do a search and a little reading (orright, maybe a lot of reading!? )

Good luck. :thumbup:

Really like SpyderPops Led bump skid. :firstplace: :yes:

& it was a good trip to his shop for installing. I Did DIY the Fogs & Tricled Ringz (Ringz required the Fogs to mount) all tapped into the Running lights (keyed power). One side effect of the light from the bump skid is that it shines through the rims & peripheral vision means you can see movement on the curbs, sometimes falsely thinking some vehicle is coming up beside you.:gaah: opcorn:

What he said. Mount them low and run them in the daytime also: https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/motorcycle-conspicuity-and-effect-auxiliary-forward-lighting

I've got one on my RTL. I can't say that it adds much to the viewing down the road situation. But it adds a bunch to the be seen aspect of it. I added mine just for the looks and safety.

We had both the signature light and the bump skids on our F3L's.

The signature light was more for show but not good for nighttime lighting.

I installed the one from slingmods. It's plug and play and turns on when you turn the bike on. No extra switch to wire and have to remember to turn off like with the more expensive one. For me it emits enough light but to each their own.

If you're talking about the lower one on the 2020+ RT's, I bought one on ebay for $56. Excellent for the cost and was plug n play.
