Walmart Fog light install?
After looking over the HID install by FMYStreetRacer. I was thinking, how hard would it be to buy a cheap $20 set of foglamps from Walmart and mod 1 of them into the headlight housing? Or remove the old housing and bolt one in? They have all shapes/sizes. Most are H3 55w. I think our bikes would handle one just fine.
I'm going there today, maybe I'll pickup a set. or something like this http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...goryCode=3151A more here http://www.autoanything.com/lights/65A2082A0A0.aspx H4s are availible in Halogen H4, P45T base, 45/45 watts |

I think the stator could probably handle a 45 watter. 55 might be pushing it. Fatboy250 has been running a 45 watt headlight for thousands of miles without issue.

I am looking at options too. The fog/driving light has crossed my mind since they can be found for cheap. I adjusted my stocker and I will see if it is any better tonight, but I am not hopeful. It seems that the flashlight bulb is the low beam.
