Thank you for posting that. That's exactly why I came out with this product. It only takes that one time! I was blinded back and almost crashed. In my case it might have been an intoxicated driver using the back roads to avoid detection. I, like you, and many others choose to run the passing lamps to be noticed.
In traffic, I run them to stand out amongst the other vehicles. To look different. I use to run the amber lights for the same reason.
The lamps are only cropped out at the top, not shinning in the trees no more. Yet they still light up the road, out and in front of you. It's that "ounce of prevention" that could very well save your life.

I'll be shipping your order out today.

Again, thank you, RJ

I've only had one oncoming driver get confused by the passing lights coming on with the low beam. That was riding two up, at night, in a rain storm.

I'm going to find out. I just ordered a set and we'll see what happens.
