[GoldWing - Road Runner]

Hi all, I have a 2007 Airbag Wing and I want to install some fog lamps on the bottom cowling. I have seen OEM Honda ones and also Electrical Connection fog lamps, like in Fred's pictures. I am leaning to the more expensive OEM ones because of the easy and neat switch install. I mean, OEM stuff should fit correctly, shouldn't it? I know EC has Amber lights available but Honda does not. EC airbag bike light kits need a special switch and a separate hole, which I am not keen on. Any thoughts about which is best for visibility, so people in cars can see me? Thanks for your help.

I installed the 55w EC Bright White lights with the OEM switch on my non-airbag bike last week and I have had several Goldwing riders comment on the brightness and color of the lights. I don't know how they compare with the Honda lights but I do think they are very good. They were 'plug and play' on the non-airbag and the OEM switch fit right into the panel.

Hi Steve, thanks for your thoughts. The only thing I face is on the airbag wing, I have to use the EC switch and drill a big hole somewhere to mount it. I cannot use the OEM switch like you did with the EC lights. But I can use the OEM switch with the OEM Honda lights.

Yeah I understand. Having the OEM switch was something I wanted too. I wanted it to fit in and look factory with the other switches. If I couldn't have gotten the OEM switch with the EC lights I probably would have gotten the Honda lights.

The EC lights are a better setup than OEM. EC uses a relay to handle the current, OEM sends it through the switch. For visibility to others on the road, put the amber covers on.

I'm on my 3rd wing and have had the Honda fog lights on all them, no problems with any of them.
I rode with DDking this weekend and he added some PIAA riding lights which are very bright. I may do this as well, I think they go between the headlamps and fog lights. You can never have too many lights.
Similar to these from Hals though I don't know anything about these:

Can't really speak to a comparison but I installed the Hondaline LED Foglamps on my '09 Airbag Wing. Those I ride with say the lights are very intense are are VERY suprised when I tell them they are LED.

I too wanted a "factory like" install. I wasn't expecting these to help me see much. I wanted them to be seen. But they do a very good job at flooding the area between the bike and where the headlights start with very white light so I've been very pleased.

I second the Honda LED fog lights..............expensive but they are well worth the money IMHO. Look nice and sure make you get noticed.

I have the ECs and am happy with them

EC Platium installed on my bike..very bright..!

I have the Honda LED's as well. I didn't realize LED's could put out so much light. Expensive, but I shouldn't have to change bulbs for a very long time.

Ok Brian. Do you have a carpeted garage or are you keeping the bike in your living room? :shock:

I had the OEM fog lights for some time but have decided to install the EC driving lights instead. The lights are quite low and should do a good job of filling in the dark spots. I also liked the relay operation and ability to turn them on and off regardless of hi/lo beam selection.

A fellow rider has the LED version of the fog lights. We both agree that the color and solid state design are nice but the OEM lights put out more power.

Doesn't everyone keep their Wing in the living room? :thumbup:
