Has anyone used RI D2 driving lights for primary lights on road? I know it's not DOT approved and all that so please save it. Just wonder if anyone has and how they worked.

I recently installed a set with the Driving Light pattern on my motorcycle. I was hoping they would work for standard aux driving lights at night but they are too bright and throw light everywhere. They are great for being seen in the day. It's possible the Hyper Spot pattern properly aimed might be better to put the light on the road and not in oncoming driver's eyes. It just seems that trying to control all 6 LEDs is a bit much for the precision to be good. (IMO)

I might try some of their new DOT approved lights to see if they are focused enough for this duty, the standard lights simply are not.

As an FYI I read recently that RI now has DOT approved driving LED lights. I also have several RI's on the front of my truck, D2 fogs, SRQ-2, 30" SR and none of them can be used for street driving as the light is too intense and scattering. I get flashed constantly if I drive with any of them turned on. Even the fogs which are pointed lower and in the factory fog holes, they too scatter too much. Now for backroads and offroad with all turned on I can see everything for a long ways, love them.

I guess the beauty of buying something for our trucks is that we are buying and paying for it so WE choose what WE like and don't like.
If anything the square D2's allow enough room to clean the inside of the fog hole when I wash my truck.
