QuestionHi, Pat -
Do you know of a source for not a headlight, but the dual headlamps used on the front of a motorcycle as extra headlights or as running lights, but in either Hi-Viz yellow/lime or some other color that would stand out? I think I'd be safer (your third degree of separation) from car drivers to my front if I ran with a pair; what I'd really like would be a manual switch that might modulate such a pair. What do you think?
Thanks! Am reading your "Ride Hard, Ride Smart" and am still learning!

AnswerI think PIAA (Pacific NW, USA) and Hella (Germany?) are the two major players for running/fog lamps. Here's a site that shows some of the different offerings:

PIAA is a familiar name for motorcycle products, and they offer both bright white and yellow bulbs. There may be a way to combine a certain color bulb with a certain color lens to get the color effect you want.
There are probably numerous off-road lamp suppliers/manufacturers who also make the types of lights you're hoping for.
Thanks for buying my book! I hope you're enjoying it. Ride well, read well.
