1) Some's eyes are messed up enough to not notice they are recoding the first video sideways...

2) I don't like the idea of loosing the reflector. It takes away from nighttime visibility.

Otherwise, pretty inventive way to put on the driving lights.

Cp shot the video and didnt send me the updated one turned upright yet & if loosing the reflector over more light on the bike and personal visibility is a problem , then you could always add reflector tape on the forks also

The fog lights look good. You can regain the side visibility (lost from removing the reflectors) by installing dual filament lights in the front signals.
The headlight conversion is good just be careful not to overload the circuit with high wattage bulbs. Or install a relay in the system. The front "eye" is a waste on USA bikes that have always on headlights, so no big loss on that being out.

I thought about the reflective tape after the fact. That would work in place of the reflector I suppose.

Say that again when you're bike is on the side of the road and you're using the Parking setting to avoid draining the battery. The thrid eye provides a marker in the front. Also, the third eye is yet another tool for allowing motorists to judge the distance to you when viewed from the front.

Not sure what happens to the beam pattern on either fogs or driving lights when you turn them 90 degrees...probably not as designed.

fog lights if perfectly round will have no diference,
other way around that also is to bend the reflector bracket i showed i used in the video ( or a home made one) 90 degrees up and mount the light right side up then
