thinking about adding a set of driving lights to my LT. I'm looking at a set from Creative Cycle Concepts, anybody had any experience with this company.

Did you get some yet?
I got the Piaa 1100X,very bright but use lots of current to get so bright!
I saw on here some ware about some Rigid LED driving lites,now I guess they will use a lot less juce. Keith.

I reckon the most light per watt these days is the HID lights, LEDs have a way to catch up yet....

My Hella FF50 with HID bulb is awesome although it isn't working right now, suspect the relay....

I haven't bought anything yet. I'd like to keep the current draw to a minimum but the LT could handle the higher watt bulbs. I liked the way this set of lights mounted. Where do you guys have yours mounted.
Drikko- all healed up ?

Yeah, getting there, the stitches are ready to come out but the gravel rash on the kneecap is so severe it is taking time to heal over, they are even thinking of the possibility of a skin graft although they think it's too late now. We will see tomorrow at the quacks....

You can see a thread on the FF50 here http://k11og.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8867&highlight=ff50

I have also put one on the Lav although it's the FF75 converted to HID:-

The HID electronics glued inside the fairing:-

I always add relays to every bike I get asked to mod, always makes a major difference, the three relays are for low beam, high beam and the driving light which is also separately switched so you can run high beam without the driving light, have these on the K11 as well:-
