Best driving lights for the 2012 RT Limited

[harrypottar]

I like the idea that you can buy the tricled with a dimmer and adjust for different locations. One other thought could you wire them into high beams switch

Wire the driving lights up using a standard bosch relay and trigger the relay with the hi beam wire going to the hi beam shutter control on the GS model...I'm not sure how the hi beams work on the RT's but I'm sure it can be done...

I have mine wired up so they work on hi or low beam...(I know its not leagal in PA but thats how I want them)

I have the Clearwaters on my 2010 RT. The small set is plenty the larger ones are too bright. The Clearwaters come with a potentiometer switch. They are wired in with your high beams. They come on fully bright on high beam and less brightness on low beam. I keep my setting at 1/4 or less turn and they are plenty bright but not enough to bother on-coming traffic. I have no regrets for installing them. When I left Spyderfest both of my headlights went out and I rode at night with just my Clearwaters. I sure was glad I had them on the :spyder2:.

I mounted a bosch relay and I trigger it with the front power/lighter plug wire behind the trunk..The relay gets its 12 V. power from the battery and the relay is activated with the lighter plug wire...then the load wire goes to the dimmer/off/on switch...then the wire from the on/off switch goes out to the driving lights...

I suppose you could trigger the relay with the parking light wire...That way the driving lights will also work with both hi & low beam headlights...

I think I have found my driving lights, just have to see if they will fit. They are made by rigid industries they use 6 led's and put out 1920 lumens per side. They put light out to 400 meters. Or I may get the smaller ones with just 3 led's per side. The 3 led's dray .63 amp each and put out 1050 lumens. The 6 led lights draw 1.3 amps and put out 1970 lumens. I think these will be bright enough.
