Default Much Better Than LED Light Bar

These were around $25 for a pair, and I found that only one is required. If people are interested, I will dig up the Amazon link and post it. I also have these on a separate fuse and switch from the headlights.
The motorcycle light, if needed, is a much better idea than an LED light bar. The light bars are unfocused and have no cut-off at the top. To understand the difference, tonight park your car in front of your closed garage door and turn on the headlights. You will see a sharp, flat, horizontal line on the left side which turns upwards at an angle on the right side. This is a focused lens.

Hopefully, the motorcycle light works the same.
