Should be enough.<br /><br />I know that I'm still invisible but hope that the lights may help. I'm told that the pattern looks odd to oncoming traffic. Maybe that'll get a second glance.

It runs really hot though, and has partially melted the plastic lens but no penetration so it's all good. It's damn bright, especially at night.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-76336910590385661212013-09-15T17:25:49.163-08:002013-09-15T17:25:49.163-08:00Hitch looks great and sounds like a big job; I kne...Hitch looks great and sounds like a big job; I knew nothing about the 5th wheel receivers.<br /><br />Looks like you should be fine with the light. Low wattage for others to see you should be more than adequate.Coop a.k.a.

I hadn't run across the ones that you used before. I may add one of those tied to the brights. I tried the ground clamp idea to clamp onto the sidecar bumper but couldn't get the angle right. But looking at them to hold a light bar onto the bumper.

That hitch install needed to be done if for no other reason than clearing out stuff in the garage. And putting stuff on the bike doesn't qualify as puttering. I've been looking for an LED light for the sidecar but didn't want to spend the big bucks for the Denali lights. And I ordered these fog lights before Troubadour's post.

You must have an endless list of to-do's. <br />Fall has arrived as well in this part of the world. People say: too soon. But temperatures have dropped significantly and the trees start changing color as well. I wonder if the fall in the Black Forest will be as colorful as in Canada.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-21013767008900279412013-09-14T18:59:00.487-08:002013-09-14T18:59:00.487-08:00This morning, someone said that as far as they wer...This morning, someone said that as far as they were concerned, it was officially Fall. It didn't matter what the calendar claimed. There are some areas that are completely changed and others that still have a lot of green. I think that the trees are as confused as everyone else.
