i have been considering these. Some reviews say they don't throw much light. So Cal response is that fog lights are not supposed to. What do you think?

I put a set of these on last week and love the looks and functionality. During normal dark riding, they're right, they don't throw a 'longer' light. They do, however, fill out the sides a bit which helps cornering. The daytime running lights are very noticeable as is the extra turn signal function.
Functioning as 'fog lights', their job is not to enable you to see any farther in fog (no light can help much in the soup), but will illuminate you to others much earlier without blinding you if aimed properly.
It's in that vein that I installed them and feel they function extremely well.
My 2 pennies.
I just bought the Pathfinder LED Fog lights and also an adapter, part number F6B1A (got all this from Wingstuff), but after opening the kits and reviewing the instructions, Cruiseman's video and the website, I don't see any real instruction info about the adapters. Everything else looks easy enough.
Did anyone actually use these adapters?

Just a thought but the rectangular protectors help to fill in any visible gaps pretty well (not completely but well enough that you don't notice unless inspecting it closely). I have the ShowChrome Tridium LED fog/driving lights installed and these covers (see link) do double duty -- offering protection from stone impacts and tidying up the cowl gaps.

Yes,
The adapters replace the posilock tap function that wires the turn signal function of the fog lights. When you fold the turnsignal/mirror housing down, you'll see a plug to the turn signal lamp. This gets unplugged, you plug the adapter inline and now you have a pigtail that connects to the turn signal cable from the fog light that you run up under the faring.
Easy stuff.
