A vertical array of 6 headlights makes a “hog” significantly more visible to drivers compared with a single headlight.  Rice University engineers tested a variety of motorcycle lighting configurations on the ability of motorists to quickly perceive and avoid an oncoming motorcycle.  While enlarging the size of a horizontal array of lights did not improve driver perception, stacking headlights in a way that more accurately represents the motorcycle height results in better automobile driver perception of the cycle’s presence.
