Supplemental Lighting the easy way.
So I have been trying to get my headlight worked out for driving at night. Adjustment point had been broken by PO, and I could never get the headlight to not glare off the fender. Long story short, painted fender and still had glare issues so fender is gone till I figure out a hugger style fender for my Shineray XY250gy-2 (Qlink MT250 Motard).
I found this LED light on Amazon for a more than reasonable price! LED Light Here it is installed. I re-purposed the front reflector to be able to hold the headlight at the correct angle after I removed the fender. Made for a perfect mount for the LED light. Drilled a hole in the mount for the LED light and picked up a shorter bolt to work in the tight space I was trying to install in. Cheap <$5 illuminated switch from pep boys worked perfect to zip tie to the bar risers till I work out a permanent home for it. Here are pics of the reg light and bright light at about 15' at dusk. Low beam High Beams LED only Low and LED High and LED LED I will try to get a pic of the lights in after dark and not at such a close range tonight. |

Thank you sir!
Got a chance to take it for a spin last night, WOW. Daylight like light for about 150' after that the road is very well lit for about another 200'. HOWEVER this is not "road legal" if any car is coming my way they will be blinded. The flood light style might be better for on the road. I really need the light on my back country hwys on the way home work. Limited traffic so it should cover my needs and then some. No more surprise deer for me. |

Only blind deer from now on ;-)
What do you call a blind deer? No I-deer. What do you call a blind deer with a broken leg? Still no I-deer. What do you call a blind deer with a broken leg and erectile dysfunction? Still no %$#ing I-deer. Ba-da-boom.

The flood model would also be better for the mower. Thanks for the link. The pricing is not too bad.

I didnt find anything better. Watch the lens, they dont have the best QA and a few people have gotten poorly seated ones.
