My 850GS is fitted with OEM auxiliary/driving lights.
I rode it from Cape Town to Nairobi recently and discovered two things:
1. Heavily corrugated Namibian gravel roads kill OEM auxiliary lights.
2. When driving in the Malawian darkness, the OEM auxiliary lights are useless.
The OEM lights are ok for being seen but crap for helping the rider see better.
I'm taking the same bike to South America next year and want to get some better seeing-with lights.
Who recommends what - and why?
