I ran out and bought a few fog lights from walmart and hooked them up to the tower just to see how it worked. I now want a decent set...this is why: 1. I drive a ton at night, we take MANY moonlight cruises and we visit friends on the lake a few times a week...and end up driving back to my house at night. 2. After dusk, there is a 10mph limit and no towing allowed. Therefore, we will never be able to use it for pulling riders...at least on my home lake. 3. The two small walmart lights worked pretty good. I have a bimini that I keep up all the time, and the bimini actually projects over the windshield about a foot. This prevents glare from hitting the windshield. Reality is that you cant really see the water much better, but you can see objects in the water MUCH better. I took it out for a cruise, and switched the lights on and off about a hundred times making a mental note of the difference. I could see the bouys from a quarter mile out. When I switched the lights off, they just flat disappeared. Gone. Same with small limbs, objects in the water. In addition, it lit up the bank and other docks so they could be easily seen. Its worth it to me, and they are fairly cheap just for a few decent lights. I don't want anything too huge, the neighbors would start to complain.
