    opinions on daytime LED running lights

    I'm interested in opinions on the pros and cons between the Socal LED running lights with integrated amber turn signals versus the Show Chrome version which doesn't have the turn signal function. For those with these lights, any thoughts on which may throw the most light or be highest visibility? Do you think the turn signal function on the Socals loses you too much white light when compared to the Show Chromes?

    I have the SoCal lights with the integrated turn signals and I get plenty of light. Also like having the integrated turn signals. I run with them on during the day for added visibility and use them at night when off the freeway for added light. They really widen the light on the road. Installation was straight forward too.

    Australian spec DRL

    I just finished wiring my bike up to the SoCal Pathfinders with DRL/Indicator function as well as spots.
    Also, Switchback LEDs' and smoked lenses, plus Kuryakyn fender Amber LED/ Indicators.
    BRIGHT! And any one who runs me over had better have a ood excuse!
    Highly recommended if you want to be noticed.
    I had to wire up a fullloom for the LED spots, as the Aussie spec bikes dont have spots connectors in the cowling loom unlike US spec bikes.
    Best wishes.

    Those side-by-side picts should deserve a reference sticky.

    Seeing those together would be fantastic. Look forward to that post in a week or so. Thanks Yellow Rex!

    For light down the road you will be hard pressed to best the 960's, for light, the ShowChrome, for style then the SoCal's can't be beat !!!!!
