What is is everyone using for the lower driving lights? My F6B has the openings for them, but not installed. Hondaline, Pathfinder, Show Chrome? I'm looking for suggestions.
Thanks.

In September of 2016 I bought the Value Accessories LED Rectangular Fog Light Kit #BP52-906 for $209.95
Installation was not difficult and required a couple of hours.
I am happy with the added visibility when riding at night. Mine are always on so that I am easier to see from the front even in daylight.
Have not had any issues and am approaching 30,000 miles on them.
I don't know if this kit is still available from them or not.
Adding lights is a really good idea no matter where you buy them.
Good luck.IMG_0289.JPG
I have the Hondaline ones and just recently put a yellow film over them so they look like yellow fog lights. I don't need to to see. I rather be seen and I think yellow will make me stick out a little more.

I went with the Show Chrome Tridium fog lights -- if you choose to go that route you can get lampguards to protect the glass for about $13 or so. Also made by Show Chrome. The lampguards also help to fill in some of the inevitable gaps between the light and plastic housing. Very happy with the look -- small driving light on at all times unless you switch to full fog light.

I do my best to keep night riding to a minimum so honestly can't say I notice any difference in light output with the guards (as long as you keep them clean). They attach via small velcro tabs so extremely easy to take on and off as the situation dictates. Will send you a PM with further info.
Thanks Brasco, I bought these after you brought them to my attention. Many thanks for doing so. They look way better, protect the lens from rocks and don't hinder the light output in anyway I can detect. And I ride to work in deer country before dawn every morning if it's not raining or below 32 degrees. Thanks to the craziness this nationwide house arrest is causing me I even rode in one recent morning at 26 degrees. It was well worth it too!

In April of 2018 I installed a set of the Tridium fog/driving/turnsignal lights from Wingstuff. I thought they were a pain to install. I ride in the dark in deer country daily. I keep the right hand light aimed to the right slightly to help illuminate the deer eyes in the fields before they get into the road and they work pretty well. They don't have quite the long range reach I wish they had but they do help.
I've put 16,000 miles on the bike since the install and have had no problems with them or anything else on the bike. Lots of rough roads, car washes and riding in the rain in that 16,000 miles too. https://wingstuff.com/products/37526...for-f6b-gl1800
