wondering what your thoughts are about installing passing lamps on a new SESG2? will it take the sleek look away, or make it look better? I don't need the lights for night driving, more about the looks for me.

I personally think the spots (passing lamps) are a safety feature that should be on the bike from the factory.  And it has nothing to do with how well I can see, since I don't ride much at night anymore.  It has everything to do with other folks seeing me.  Since I started riding a SEEG with the spots on all the time, I've had a huge decrease in the number of idiots pulling out in front of me or turning in front of me.  If you take note of oncoming e'glides with their spots on, you'll see what I mean about the improved visibility of the bike.  And if you use the same mounting system as the one on the SEEG's, it looks good as well.

Here are the SE Passing Lamps on my '10 SESG. With and without lowers.
I love mine.

Perhaps the moderator can merge these photos into one post...

Do as Jerry stated and put on the passing lights or put bi-xenon light(s) in the headlight for hi/low beam.

Be a shame to hide so much of that beautiful fairing behind passing lamps.  Motolights are caliper mounted, teardrop shaped (very similar to the turn signals) driving lights w/ 50W bulbs and provide a better light pattern for conspicuity in daytime riding IMO:  https://www.motolight.com/

Wiring is all plug n' play.

Very nice  I really like it

I wanted to put some up there..........just because my night vision is not what it used to be and so that others would see me easier.  Then I got the HID headlight conversion from Jim.  Don't need them to see better or for others to notice me.  You might want to consider HID.  Pricey but well worth it.

If you just want to put something up there just to spend money, you might take a look at Headwinds product.......small enough it doesn't cover up the sleek look of the fairing..........  http://www.headwinds.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=headwinds01&Product_Code=2-2404-21CCA&Category_Code=01020201

I agree that the passing lamps are an important safety feature and I will definitly put them on my SESG2.

I wonder how complicated and time consuming the conversion is. Does someone remember? Step by step instructions are welcome!

Which parts are needed for the conversion when I stay with HD parts.

Do I need a separate switch in the fairing ?

Another vote for install the Aux Kit.. it comes with the switch to mount in the dash (one of the open spots).

Do you know what kit Jim used on your bike or what was involved with the installation?


Thanks,

What is the writing on the switch, is it the ACC with the green on the bottom, or does it say SPOT, and is there an idicator light on it too?

Thanks for the info on the Headwinds FLH, FLST - 2" Spotlight & Turnsignal Kit - CONCOURS
Does anyone have any better pictures or reports with these installed?
These acutally look pretty cool from the one picture they have on the website.
