WAITING ON MY D3s!!! Mid July is what they are telling me now , So get your order in fellas. I love that yellow lens look , its a great way to been seen when you are weaving in & out of traffic in Camarillo , California on a motorcycle.
Just got done watching the D3 beam comparison video you made a year ago. It definitely helped me hone in on which D3 I would like (hybrid) for my RT. However, one opportunity I feel not addressed in the video was light comparison with the yellow and amber filters installed. It is an option provided with the lights and it would have been helpful to have that comparison done especially if a rider is considering any D3 with those filters installed.
We are working on releasing a video showing the differences in light colors, please be patient. RUclips doesn't love when our videos are too long so we have to break things up into smaller chunks. Thanks for watching!
Denalis are the benchmark when it comes to auxiliary lights. I installed D3s on my Scout Bobber, they illuminate the road like it’s day.. I feel confident and safe riding with them. Keep up the good work, quality and amazing customer service Denali team..
Great Company. FWIW. Never let up on that excellent customer service either. No matter how big you get. That and your products are the secret sauce. You can’t have one without the other. Trust that.
I've got a 2008 Goldwing and I'm planning on a trip and want some light when driving at night thru the Hill country, desert and mountains. It looks like the D3's are the ones for me. Probably in Hybrid mode. I'd probably run them at 10-20% day and night for visibility and seeing a bit extra at night, until I get to no lights and traffic, then it's up to 100%.
60mph equals 88 feet per second, so 750 feet away is 8.5 seconds down the road, nice. I hate strong light bounce back from road signs and we have a lot of them in eastern Penna. I love having a D7 on the right side that is angled ever so slightly left and misses much of the road side signs. On the left I have an LED light that scatters light in all directions for Conspicuity, like 2 lane 75 mph roads out west in the daytime when you don't want an oncoming car to pull out at you and start passing the RV and line of cars following. My old bike has a Lightforce Halogen 6" spot and the newer bike has the D7, both light up all kinds of animal eyes straight ahead on the road 7, 8, 9 and even 10 seconds down the road at night. I slow in turns or when using low beam.
That is the nature of the fog pattern to meet DOT/ECE certification as a fog light. Many "fogs" on the market with less thoughtfully designed optics will spill/waster light into oncoming traffic which can distract other drivers. The light "cutoff" of the D3 Fog is ideal for street legal and safe illumination down low and pairs perfectly with our driving lights!
Hey what a nice video. i was waiting for the D3 lights. My question would be on how would one D3 spot and one D3 hybrid would perform. I just want one set of lights and not two set like tested in the last part of this video. Cheers and looking forward towards your reply.

Nate It was my intention to install 2 D7’s with Selective Yellow Lenses WITH a Data Dim Controller on my X-ADV750. I wanted to use the D7’s as Daytime & Nighttime running lights - setting the appropriate brightness (maybe 30 - 20%) via the Data Dim controller for Day & Night riding in trafficked or urban areas. …but I wanted to switch the D7’s to 100% by flicking on the high beam/low beam via the Honda OEM handlebar switch when in dark, untrafficked conditions - but NOT by dialling the Data Dim switch up to 100% & back to a lower percentage brightness which I perceive as an ’awkward’ (not instant) procedure. My expert dealer - possibly the biggest installer of Denali & PIAA lights in Thailand (Touring Edition, Bangkok) tells me he will not attempt to install (ANY lights) to switch High/Low beam from the Honda X-ADV750 OEM handlebar switch - because of ‘deficiencies’ on the Honda X-ADV OEM wiring loom - specifically tapping in to the high/low beam circuit. So, until you have a plug & play kit for the X-ADV750, Denali lights will not give me what I need. That’s a shame! You lose a sale, I don’t get Denali lights. The X-ADV is a huge seller for Honda - more global sales than the Africa Twin!! How difficult would it be to produce a plug & play loom for the X-ADV750? Would appreciate a reply!
We hear you and we are excited to get our hands on the XADV750. Unfortunately, we are struggling to source one for developement. As a primarily US-based company, we are somewhat limited when it comes to developing products on non-US bikes. Hopefully Honda will bring this model to the US in 2024 so we can develop some products.
Nate, quality video. You gave me excellent tips on installing the DilDim, thank you. Is there a best practice whether to mount D3 fogs above or below D3 spots? Uppers mounted to a Denali bracket, lowers to the crash bars. Thanks!
I'm deciding on what to put on my 2018 GS. As many folks have said many times - ROUND D4's PLEASE --BOOM! Please DENALI - Don't be in DENIAL - Round D4s please - thanks for your excellent products and customer service --> Thee BEST!
We have only heard this request a couple of times, and it's an interesting one. The new DENALI D3 is essentially the same physical size as the D4 and with the Hybrid Lens, it performs arguably better than the D4. Is this request simply for the "look" of a round D4?
Hi Guys, Question. The D3, street legal for high beam.(Hybrid model) Do you think it could be used with the Dual Intensity Controller to run them full with high beam, and low intensity with low beam? I wonder if this would blind the oncoming traffic or not? (considering the yellow lenses)
The D3 driving light is only street legal as a high beam. The D3 driving light at full power with any lens combination is likely going to blind oncoming traffic, if aimed for correct high beam usage. The proper way to accomplish your goal is to install a set of D3 Driving Lights and a set of D3 fog lights with a DialDim or CANsmart controller. This way you can set the D3 to full power with brights (highbeam) and low power when in traffic. And you can run the fogs as a proper fog light, street legal in oncoming traffic, at whatever power rating you would like. If you would like to discuss your options in more detail, send us a message or give us a call! denalielectronics.com/pages/contact-us

We love feedback, but I haven't heard this one before. Have you seen the specs on the new D3 with the Hybrid lens? The D3 Driving Light with the Hyrbid lens is round and has a beam pattern 1050' (320m) long and 225' (69m) wide; the comparable lens on the D4 is 800'x110'.

Hi Nate new subscriber here just purchased 2021 R1250 GS standard as a second bike to my Streetglide I wanna light it up Got stock adaptive headlight as my only forward facing lights Was thinking of having the new D3’s installed. Not sure which to get hybrid, spots, or fogs Just wanna light up the road in front of me with a wide and down the road beam of light. Had SW Motech lower engine crash bars installed as my first priority Will the D3’s suffice ? And who would you recommend to properly install them ? I’m in New York Thanks
Thanks for subscribing Steve, you will like it here! Also, congrats on the GS! The DENALI D3's are wholly sufficient for lighting up the road or trail. If you are going for one set of lights I would choose the D3 Driving lights with one spot and one hybrid lens. The "combo" pattern is really impressive. If you are considering two light sets, I would op for the D3 Driving Combo and D3 Fogs down low. As far as install goes, we can install products at our shop in Exeter, RI and we have a list of dealers all over the world here: denalielectronics.com/pages/contact-us/#page-section-1546880764046
Great video, thank for sharing guys. I’m planning to get a set of D3s, a CANsmart and the mounting bracket for my 2016 GSA, but I wanted to know if I also need to get wire extensions? If so, how many? Thanks 👍
One more thing, do I need to get the D3 kit or just the lights, if I was also getting the CANsmart? Does the CANsmart come with all the required cables?
Great choice Aimen! If you purchase the CANsmart, you only need the D3 lights, not the light kit. The CANsmart is supplied with everything you need to wire up you lights, including extensions. Grab a light mount and you will be in business!
You honestly can't go wrong with either. On paper, the D3 has a slight advantage in distance, but it really boils down to aesthetics. Both are great lights and either would be a good companion to your D7's!
Any chance to see if the 2024 Europe spec Honda Africa Twin will be compatible with the DNL.WHS.21300 plug and play cable? I will want to buy some fog lights for it and also high beam lights to be compliant ECE as the authorities are picky and suspend the registration for anything that isn't.
Different situations call for different lights. On a pitch black forest trail, I would want as much light in front of me as possible (D7). On the highway with other vehicles around and more ambient light, the D3 is a great option!
I will let our design/video team know and see what they can come up with. I can help you a bit if you are considering one over the other. The DR1 is best described as a pencil beam- the pattern is extremely tight and it not only lights up a specific spot well into the distance, the beam is actually quite visible as a conspicuity light as it waves or swings while you turn. The D3 spot is simply a beast with more usable light down-trail than the DR1 and a wider pattern. One of our dealers in the UK put together a video that shows the DR1 and the D3 in the same comparison around the 34 minute mark: ruclips.net/video/nKioaoLubLA/видео.html
@@DENALIElectronics - Thank you for the link! I apologize that it took this long to reply; I'm no longer getting RUclips notifications for some reason.
Hi i just ordered d3 spot and d3 fog for using gsa . But i have a doubt about it. Should i change the fog one to hybrits for better fill or keep going in that?
denalielectronics.com/collections/led-driving-lights/products/d3-led-driving-light-with-datadim%E2%84%A2-technology The hybrid and spot lens is included with the D3 Driving Light.
Great video. I have a 2020 KTM SAS. I'm based in Zim and we have terrible roads - potholes, broken down trucks, livestock etc. As a rule we never ride at night unless coming in late from a ride or leaving early morning on a trip before dawn - 4am or so, of which it will be low speed riding. Looks like a set of D4s hooked up to an ezCan are a no brainer & would do the trick for best illumination right in front correct? Also, would you know if the Sw motech light mount would give the best flush fitting so the D4s wouldn't get damaged in a fall? My bike has the OEM lower crash bars
You are on the right track! D4 or D7 will generate the most light output and paired with the CANsmart is an easy setup. I am not familiar with the SWM light mount, but our articulating mount is extremely tough and I can confirm it works well: denalielectronics.com/collections/all-mounting/products/lah-00-10300-b?variant=15068397863012
@@DENALIElectronics The low beam cut off is so sharp that it looks like a horizontal light saber. No matter how it is adjusted, you lose about 30% of the beam pattern when making a corner. The high beam is extremely intense but even more narrowly focused. The pattern is so sharp you could shave with it. I genuinely don't think the headlight qualifies as street-legal. It really is that bad.
Are you concerned that the D4 is not bright enough or too bright? If it isn't bright enough for you, the D7 certainly will be. If you are worried that it is too bright, paired with our DialDim Controller or DataDim module, you can decrease the output to 50% with the DataDim and from 0-100 on the DialDim.
@@DENALIElectronics Would my warranty be void if I paint the housings with chrome paint or get them chrome plated? I have a classic twin cruiser with a bunch of chrome, the D4 with black housings really did not match the style. When I get the D3, I want to make them chrome.
The D3 punch further bc they're a tighter grouping....can the D7's not be made to do THAT? Bc if Denali did, the D7's would punch further than 1910ft, correct? Thank you in advanced 🙏🏻
Technically speaking, yes. The D7 was designed to be a light set that could do it all with plenty of reach for 99% of situations and enough width for a normal road or trail. The D3 Driving Light with the spot beam is more the same style as the DR1, a purpose built spot beam with maximum distance and a relatively small beam in the distance. We are releasing the D7Pro in January 2024 and while it will have a longer throw and significant bump in output, the D3 stands alone for a long distance spot beam.
Our products are designed and tested to withstand the most extreme conditions on earth. That's why we offer a five year warranty on every product we sell.
Any reason why my freshly installed D3’s are not as bright as what’s being shown in this video? Motorcycle battery big enough to get the full potential?
Your best bet is to reach out to our customer service team: denalielectronics.com/pages/contact-us There are a lot of variables that we will need to eliminate.
I think our design team is in contact with you about your options, but you will not be disappointed in either setup. The D7's are seriously impressive and look great on the front of most any big bike. The D3 fog and spot combo is also a killer combination with a smaller footprint.
In the video you refer to ‘D3 Spot Lights’, D3 ‘Fog Lights’ & D3 ‘Hybrid Lights’ - suggesting there are 3 variants of D3. I assume there are also three D3 lens colour options (white, amber & yellow). But, your website does NOT show 3 variants of the D3 lights & the descriptions of the D3 lights are either’Driving Lights’ or ‘Fog Lights’. Are ’Driving Lights’ (on the website) the same as the ‘Spot Lights’ in your video? Where are the D3 ‘Hybrid Lights’ on your website? I think your website is a bit of a mess. You have ‘Driving Lights‘ & ‘Fog Lights’ tabs from the hamburger menu but if I tap ‘Driving Lights’, I’m shown Denali ‘Driving Lights’ & ‘Fog Lights’. I’m want to buy a set of D3 lights with ’Selective Yellow Hybrid Lenses’. Please confirm what the product number is for this variant of D3?
The D3 has two variants: the D3 Driving Light (diamond beam arrangement- DNL.D3.050) and the D3 Fog Light (2 over 2 arrangement- DNL.D3.051). The D3 Driving light includes a spot lens and a hybrid lens (when used together with one on each light we call this a combo beam). It sounds like you are looking for the D3 Driving Light with Yellow lenses (will include clear as well): denalielectronics.com/collections/led-driving-lights/products/d3-led-driving-light-with-datadim%E2%84%A2-technology?variant=42422913138872 The part number is: DNL.D3.050.Y

Two different lights: driving and fog. Fog has only one lens available in white, yellow, and amber. Driving has two lens options: spot and hybrid (both included) in the color of choice.
Somewhere between 5000-5500 is right for the D3. There is not currently any way to adjust production models beyond changing out the lens for yellow or amber.
@@DENALIElectronics in any quality light, the color temperature needs to be published as part of the specs. If it is a quality product, the color should be very specific. If you say it is between 5000k and 5500k, it seems your quality control is pretty low. I really like the functionality and power of Denali lights, but the most important aspect for a confortable and safe driving is getting the right color. It seems Baja Designs is far superior on this.
I really wish you guys started putting a small strip of LEDs on the side of your lights so you can see them 180*. Maybe a small reflective hole on the side of the lenses would work. DRLs work great on the front forks but I'm sure you guys can do better.

By looking at this video and reviewing our certifications for driving lights, the oncoming traffic is fairly straight forward. The D3 Fog light (when aimed properly) can be run at 100% all of the time without blinding other motorists. All of the rest of the lights in this video will need to be dimmed and most are certified for high-beam street legal use. Hope that helps clear up any confusion!

If you are going for one set of lights I would choose the D3 Driving lights with one spot and one hybrid lens. The "combo" pattern is really impressive. If you are considering two light sets, I would op for the D3 Driving Combo and D3 Fogs down low.
As far as install goes, we can install products at our shop in Exeter, RI and we have a list of dealers all over the world here: denalielectronics.com/pages/contact-us/#page-section-1546880764046
Great video, thank for sharing guys.
I’m planning to get a set of D3s, a CANsmart and the mounting bracket for my 2016 GSA, but I wanted to know if I also need to get wire extensions? If so, how many?
Thanks 👍
One more thing, do I need to get the D3 kit or just the lights, if I was also getting the CANsmart? Does the CANsmart come with all the required cables?
Great choice Aimen! If you purchase the CANsmart, you only need the D3 lights, not the light kit. The CANsmart is supplied with everything you need to wire up you lights, including extensions. Grab a light mount and you will be in business!
@@DENALIElectronics SUPER! Thank you guys 👊✊
Can the D3's be mounted inverted? There is some info on the web that is contradictory. Please let is know.
I have D7 will add either d3 hybrid or d4 Which one? I drive in the Texas hill country there are a lot of deer.
You honestly can't go wrong with either. On paper, the D3 has a slight advantage in distance, but it really boils down to aesthetics. Both are great lights and either would be a good companion to your D7's!
Any chance to see if the 2024 Europe spec Honda Africa Twin will be compatible with the DNL.WHS.21300 plug and play cable? I will want to buy some fog lights for it and also high beam lights to be compliant ECE as the authorities are picky and suspend the registration for anything that isn't.
Impresive what the d3 can do, better than the overexposed beam in front of you all the time on the road
Different situations call for different lights. On a pitch black forest trail, I would want as much light in front of me as possible (D7). On the highway with other vehicles around and more ambient light, the D3 is a great option!
I sure would've liked to see a comparison between the D3 spot and the DR1.
I will let our design/video team know and see what they can come up with. I can help you a bit if you are considering one over the other. The DR1 is best described as a pencil beam- the pattern is extremely tight and it not only lights up a specific spot well into the distance, the beam is actually quite visible as a conspicuity light as it waves or swings while you turn. The D3 spot is simply a beast with more usable light down-trail than the DR1 and a wider pattern.
One of our dealers in the UK put together a video that shows the DR1 and the D3 in the same comparison around the 34 minute mark: ruclips.net/video/nKioaoLubLA/видео.html
@@DENALIElectronics - Thank you for the link! I apologize that it took this long to reply; I'm no longer getting RUclips notifications for some reason.
Hi i just ordered d3 spot and d3 fog for using gsa . But i have a doubt about it. Should i change the fog one to hybrits for better fill or keep going in that?
Running the D3 Driving Light with a hybrid lens with the D3 Fog Lights is a great combination!
Nice video, where can I find the D3 hybrid on your internetsite?
denalielectronics.com/collections/led-driving-lights/products/d3-led-driving-light-with-datadim%E2%84%A2-technology
The hybrid and spot lens is included with the D3 Driving Light.
When are D3 fogs going to be in stock? Also, can you change the lens color on the D3 fogs? I'll be replacing my D4s with D3 fogs.
D3's should be in next week! The lenses are interchangeable between white, amber, and selective yellow.
@@DENALIElectronics Nice, I'll be ordering a set to replace my D4
Is there any videos show the D3 with the yellow lens? I was thinking of doing a pair of D3 hybrids with a pair of D3s with a yellow lens.
We do not currently have a video showing the different lenses, but we will put one together to explain the differences and benefits.
@@DENALIElectronics That would be great. Thanks
Great video. I have a 2020 KTM SAS. I'm based in Zim and we have terrible roads - potholes, broken down trucks, livestock etc. As a rule we never ride at night unless coming in late from a ride or leaving early morning on a trip before dawn - 4am or so, of which it will be low speed riding. Looks like a set of D4s hooked up to an ezCan are a no brainer & would do the trick for best illumination right in front correct? Also, would you know if the Sw motech light mount would give the best flush fitting so the D4s wouldn't get damaged in a fall? My bike has the OEM lower crash bars
You are on the right track! D4 or D7 will generate the most light output and paired with the CANsmart is an easy setup. I am not familiar with the SWM light mount, but our articulating mount is extremely tough and I can confirm it works well: denalielectronics.com/collections/all-mounting/products/lah-00-10300-b?variant=15068397863012
Wha do you recommend for install on my Harley Davidson Road glide at the crash bar ?
Definitely the d3 hybrid...thanks
To my africa twin
How about d7s and d3 spot combo?
The D7 + D3 combo is a stellar combination!
I would like to install a pair of D4 on my Aprilia Tuareg 660, what do I need to be able to install it?
This is deceptive, why isn’t the light in the foreground off, and what is it?
Can you fix the headlight on the new Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 800?
It will need to be on full-time and be 100% street legal.
Fix? What is wrong with the Vstrom headlight?
@@DENALIElectronics The low beam cut off is so sharp that it looks like a horizontal light saber. No matter how it is adjusted, you lose about 30% of the beam pattern when making a corner.
The high beam is extremely intense but even more narrowly focused. The pattern is so sharp you could shave with it.
I genuinely don't think the headlight qualifies as street-legal. It really is that bad.
I’m looking for a single headlight for my KTM 500 Exc-F for mainly road use. Would you recommend the D4? Just concerned about the brightness
Are you concerned that the D4 is not bright enough or too bright? If it isn't bright enough for you, the D7 certainly will be. If you are worried that it is too bright, paired with our DialDim Controller or DataDim module, you can decrease the output to 50% with the DataDim and from 0-100 on the DialDim.
Useful video!
Thanks! Glad to hear it was helpful!
You should also do these with chrome housings for classic bikes.
We have offered chrome housings in the past with mixed results. I will pass on your suggestion to our design team!
@@DENALIElectronics Would my warranty be void if I paint the housings with chrome paint or get them chrome plated? I have a classic twin cruiser with a bunch of chrome, the D4 with black housings really did not match the style. When I get the D3, I want to make them chrome.
The D3 punch further bc they're a tighter grouping....can the D7's not be made to do THAT? Bc if Denali did, the D7's would punch further than 1910ft, correct?
Thank you in advanced 🙏🏻
Technically speaking, yes. The D7 was designed to be a light set that could do it all with plenty of reach for 99% of situations and enough width for a normal road or trail. The D3 Driving Light with the spot beam is more the same style as the DR1, a purpose built spot beam with maximum distance and a relatively small beam in the distance.
We are releasing the D7Pro in January 2024 and while it will have a longer throw and significant bump in output, the D3 stands alone for a long distance spot beam.
Are the lights vibration resistant? What warranty does it come with?
Our products are designed and tested to withstand the most extreme conditions on earth. That's why we offer a five year warranty on every product we sell.
Any reason why my freshly installed D3’s are not as bright as what’s being shown in this video? Motorcycle battery big enough to get the full potential?
Your best bet is to reach out to our customer service team: denalielectronics.com/pages/contact-us
There are a lot of variables that we will need to eliminate.
I ordered D7s and D3 spots for my GSA. Would I be better off with 4x D3 (2 spot and 2 fog)?
I think our design team is in contact with you about your options, but you will not be disappointed in either setup. The D7's are seriously impressive and look great on the front of most any big bike. The D3 fog and spot combo is also a killer combination with a smaller footprint.
In the video you refer to ‘D3 Spot Lights’, D3 ‘Fog Lights’ & D3 ‘Hybrid Lights’ - suggesting there are 3 variants of D3.
I assume there are also three D3 lens colour options (white, amber & yellow).
But, your website does NOT show 3 variants of the D3 lights & the descriptions of the D3 lights are either’Driving Lights’ or ‘Fog Lights’.
Are ’Driving Lights’ (on the website) the same as the ‘Spot Lights’ in your video?
Where are the D3 ‘Hybrid Lights’ on your website?
I think your website is a bit of a mess. You have ‘Driving Lights‘ & ‘Fog Lights’ tabs from the hamburger menu but if I tap ‘Driving Lights’, I’m shown Denali ‘Driving Lights’ & ‘Fog Lights’.
I’m want to buy a set of D3 lights with ’Selective Yellow Hybrid Lenses’.
Please confirm what the product number is for this variant of D3?
The D3 has two variants: the D3 Driving Light (diamond beam arrangement- DNL.D3.050) and the D3 Fog Light (2 over 2 arrangement- DNL.D3.051). The D3 Driving light includes a spot lens and a hybrid lens (when used together with one on each light we call this a combo beam).
It sounds like you are looking for the D3 Driving Light with Yellow lenses (will include clear as well): denalielectronics.com/collections/led-driving-lights/products/d3-led-driving-light-with-datadim%E2%84%A2-technology?variant=42422913138872
The part number is: DNL.D3.050.Y
Are they plug and play for a Harley Davidson ?
Using our CANsmart controller, all of our lights are plug and play with most Harleys: denalielectronics.com/collections/cansmart-accessory-manager/products/cansmart-controller-for-harley-davidson?variant=27145880436836
If not CANsmart compatible, our DialDim is really easy to install: denalielectronics.com/collections/dialdim-lighting-controller/products/dialdim%E2%84%A2-lighting-controller-universal-fit?variant=40643031302328
Are there 3 different d3s? Or does on pod do fog, spot, and hybrid?? If so how do you select which beam you want?
Two different lights: driving and fog.
Fog has only one lens available in white, yellow, and amber.
Driving has two lens options: spot and hybrid (both included) in the color of choice.
It seems their color is on the cold side, maybe above 5500k.
Is there any option to adjust them to get 5000k or just a bit below?
Somewhere between 5000-5500 is right for the D3. There is not currently any way to adjust production models beyond changing out the lens for yellow or amber.
@@DENALIElectronics in any quality light, the color temperature needs to be published as part of the specs. If it is a quality product, the color should be very specific.
If you say it is between 5000k and 5500k, it seems your quality control is pretty low.
I really like the functionality and power of Denali lights, but the most important aspect for a confortable and safe driving is getting the right color.
It seems Baja Designs is far superior on this.
I really wish you guys started putting a small strip of LEDs on the side of your lights so you can see them 180*. Maybe a small reflective hole on the side of the lenses would work.
DRLs work great on the front forks but I'm sure you guys can do better.
I will pass on your suggestions to our design team, thanks for the input!
I can't find the D3 Hybrid lights anywhere.
We have them in stock: denalielectronics.com/collections/led-driving-lights/products/d3-led-driving-light-with-datadim%E2%84%A2-technology?variant=41152771719352
What if we compare D3 Hybrid vs D4 ?
Thanks for the suggestion! We are hoping to publish more and more comparison videos soon!
Is the D3 SPOT model still for sale?
The D3 Driving Light comes with both a spot and hybrid lens and is still available: denalielectronics.com/collections/led-driving-lights/products/d3-led-driving-light-with-datadim%E2%84%A2-technology?variant=41152771719352
I think d7 spot and d3 spot try
Do you have any questions that I could answer for you?
@@DENALIElectronics Denali vs gold runway
Can I install both d3 and d7? Is it even legal?
We have a blog post that covers the topic of legality, at least as it pertains to the United States: denalielectronics.com/blogs/blog/are-auxiliary-lights-legal-do-i-need-to-cover-my-lights-on-the-road
@@DENALIElectronics Harley refused to install D3 and D7 on my heritage classic 23 114.
Another mechanic store advised me against it because the bike is new and it could hurt warranty so I returned
I don't know. I installed D3 fogs, and they are total crap. The light output is so pure than any Chinese lights are beating it, and I spent fortune on them. Really disappointed.
Ah, ah, ah,
But how do the lights look to other drivers. Sad single dimensional review.
By looking at this video and reviewing our certifications for driving lights, the oncoming traffic is fairly straight forward. The D3 Fog light (when aimed properly) can be run at 100% all of the time without blinding other motorists. All of the rest of the lights in this video will need to be dimmed and most are certified for high-beam street legal use. Hope that helps clear up any confusion!
