One review says they are a fog light pattern, another says 8 deg. pencil beam. Which one is correct? Bright enough for my only streetbike headlight?

I use them to supplement my headlight, but you could use them just as the headlight

The ones I have were fog lights. Two of them together are brighter than my main 55w halogen headlight. I don't think using one alone would be sufficient for useful light as a headlamp though. They give off that kind of bluish light. That's annoying, but for the price, they do their job.

I have these lights on my KLR 650 Endro they put out a nice beam of light but the projection is not very far. I am using these more as fog lights i run them directly in front of my bike and have the high beam light pointed a little further ahead. just to cover that blind spot in front of the tire. I think you would need a second light source for your highbeams, these are good extra lights i would buy again, as secondary lights.

Pencil beam with ambient light around it. Would work as a headlight, but two would be preferable.

I bought these as fog lamps. I sent them back when I saw they were only eight degrees wide. Definitely not a fog lamp. I never installed them but I wonder what legal requirements there are for headlights and would want to be sure these would meet any requirements.

I have no exact way to measure the beam width of these lights but I would have to say that they are certainly closer to 30 degrees than to eight. Also, I would say that these do not fit what I would normally call a spot light. Usually this means a light that puts out only a bright spot with little or no surrounding flare. These lights do have some hot spot but they also have a good deal of width. Even when properly aimed on the road they will still illuminate not just the road but also the surrounding area as well as overhead trees etc. Probably their best feature is the intense whiteness of the light.

These are fog lights for evening/night time. The lights wattage is 35-55 and the strip of lights are LED's.Please let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Shannon

All depends on what you are trying to do with them. Fog lights throw a wide beam of light that doesn't go very far forward. Driving lights throw a much farther beam but not as wide as the fog lights. The spot lights throw the narrowest beam but by far the farthest beam. On my jeep I have fog light on the outside of my front bumper, driving lights on the inner front bumper brackets and spot lights in my windshield brackets.

that i do not know. nothing seems to flicker, or dim when i turn them on. i actually have them wired into old aftermarket fog light wires.

I have them on my DRZ supermoto bike. They are like sunlight. Adjustment is important to keep from blinding oncoming drivers. The street signs light up great with them. One of mine just went a little dimmer than the other. I think there is something loose inside, have not had the time to check it out yet.

They are pretty bright. They are not amber fog lights.If I used them for a jeep or truck I would buy 2 sets and put them on a rail or brush guard. I have them on an ATV. If u meant measurements, they are like 6 inches wide, 4 inches tall and like 4-5 inches thick/deep.

They are LED of course, so they pull little current. I am assuming much less than one amp. If you are trying to relate them to an incadecent headlight/foglight bulb... 20-25 watts is a guess. They are the brightness that you would expect compared to factory LED strip lights. However, I am frustrated with my second set of these and would not suggest them due to the quality of solderjoints and assembly.

I have only ran them by hand, not on the bike yet. They appear to cast a wide beam and are very bright. If you look into them you will see spots for a while. They do not appear to shoot a long thin beam, bit will get the attention of anyone coming at you and will light up a trail very well. Ok, just went outside and touched the wires to my battery and the main part, brightest, of the beam is a good 4 foot wide at 20 foot distance. Hope that helps.

I replaced the original fog lights with these lights, and they are brighter then the one I replaced. I'm very satisfied with them. I've had them on for several months, no problems and very pleased with my purchased.

No, these are not SAE compliant, and for good reason... they will blind people. Real fog lights are supposed to be used with low beams as supplemental light to the low beams. Driving lights provide supplemental light to high beams, but cannot legally be used with low beams. These are bright lights with a poorly defined beam pattern, so you can only use them with high beams, but they are not great for that.

I'm not sure but I have both, 40 inch cree, 50 and 24 inch eyourlife along with 2 2x4 cree fog lights and all are very bright and I see no difference. Hopefully this helps your decision.

I believe each but not sure. I have them mounted on my 2012 Suzuki King Quad and they are so bright I cannot even tell if my stock lights are even on. They are super bright and just what I was looking for. I have also had them totally submerged under water and still no problems.

The beam pattern is not a fog light pattern. Rigid makes different light patterns and they do offer a fog pattern

The wire scheme is listed in one of the images. Green = Ground, Brown = Fog(low), Yellow = Running (high) I personnel would not use these to replace a real headlight as I don't feel they are bright enough but I like the extra visibility they give and think they are a good addition to my bike.

I bought them a month ago, and just to tell you compared to other LEDs they forsure are bright white pure 6000K. On the road, for others you'd be seen, but for you the light output on the road is im afraid of no use. I ended up switching to 35W 6000K HIDs which looked pretty much the same but with 10x more light out put, good luck :)

No, they aren't fog lights. I don't trust what Amazon says fits. Go to a website like Napa or Advance Auto parts and see what they say. Owner's manual for the car is best though.
