I put LED driving lights (like yours?) on my bike.  Put one on top of the other, just below the headlight.
Does it seem that the lights have to be aimed just right to be seen brightly?
Considering yours are in the sunlight they look bright.

I have them set as level as I could get them, the farther you get from them the brighter they seem. They are bright enough that you can't look right at them. I went out for a night ride last night and they light up the ground real nice, up to 50 or so yards (maybe a bit farther).

I wasn't sure how to set mine. I got them so I would be seen rather than light up the road.
I can see them further off too. Too bright to look at directly.

I mounted them on a pair of Drag Specialties Universal Clamps on each site, on the top engine guard.

I saw them in person today, and trust me, they are really bright in the daylight - much brighter than the front running lamps.  They will be unmissable at night.

The auxiliary tank installation is well thought-out and looks good, too.  Great job, Les!   cooldude
