Re: Driving lights for R1200R

I recently purchased and had the dealer install a set of Clearwater Glenda lights using Lumalink mounts. The ++ 1. Very bright 2. Low amp draw 3. Look great on the bike The only - is they are expensive! I am a fan of daytime driving lights and feel they should be on every bike as a safety feature!
