Update: Waited until dark and went for a spin around the 'hood. The beam pattern isn't the best, nor is it the most powerful thing around, but it should be just fine on the MUP and streets at 5:00 in the morning. Rush hour at 5 p.m. is a different story...

I aimed the light so that it throws out a ways, but these means that there is just a little patch just in front of the wheel that has no coverage what-so-ever. Or should I angle the beam down a bit so that patch is covered, and just slow my speed down a bit?
