BMW LED Auxiliary lights

[Grumpy Goat]

Two different dealers I spoke with when asked about their opinions re Denali vs Clearwater was that Clearwater was SO much better... but both times without justification. They hadn't used Denali. In my research so far it appears that it's less expensive, brighter, and just as capable with a wider range of available light sizes.

At this point in my bike purchase I'm just holding my nose and trying to get the best I can afford in every category. Bikers are really missing an in-depth head-to-head comparison between the two brands that looks at the whole package -- features, physical component quality, ease of install, price, etc.

Clearwater was first to market and they delivered a fine product in their aux light systems. Then came Twisted Throttle / Denali Electronics which offered a cheaper alternative in a market that Clearwater already started to dominate. When the time came for me to get some aux lights I looked at Clearwater and Denali and decided to go with Denali largely because of cost. I certainly don't feel that Clearwater are better, cost premium or no.

I have been a repeat customer ever since and will continue with Denali because, aside from the B6 tail aux light, I have not been let down by the product. The after sales service is very good so even when the B6 failed they covered it under warranty without any problem.

There is a GS owner who is also a Denali dealer in the UK with a channel on YouTube (A Bike Thing) and while I don't believe he has comparisons across the whole ranges of the two brands, he at least compared the Clearwater Dixi vs Denali D7 / D4 / D2 in a shootout a year ago. Fair video too.
