Very sorry if I'm the last person here to find this out but as of Sunday it is compulsory for post 1979 motorcycles to ride with their headlights on. Page 2 of todays Herald, listed among other law changes. It's the first I have heard of it becoming mandatory. I hope their will be some leniency from the tax collectors.....
The instructions are simple...

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

First I heard too but I knew it was in the works.
I always ride with the light on anyway.

Thank you, I'm easily confused.

wasn't there a saying about "lights on, but........."?
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

it would be crazy to ride without them on.

Very good law to implement!
Double shot!!
If you have limited power, remember that discharge headlamps only draw 35 watts and put out twice the light and half the heat. The bike won't look very retro though, with its sooper dooper bright headlight though.

I always ride with my light on & on my current bike it's permanently on. Saves me forgetting. I was a little suprised that the only thing I have heard about it becoming compulsory I found buried in a cellphone related article. If riders are to be penalised from 1st Nov for not using their headlight a little more heads up from the powers that be would have been appreciated. Should I be cynical about the lack of publicity with this?
Hmm.
You'll also blind all oncoming traffic if you're a moron and did a straight swap without replacing the lightbulb housing.

Well the lights are now on...........but is anyone home?

Nah, I didn't know either. I've ridden with my headlight on in the day since forever ago, the difference now though is, when my bulb goes once a year, it has turned form a minor inconvenience into a road traffic violation. yeehaVery sorry if I'm the last person here to find this out but as of Sunday it is compulsory for post 1979 motorcycles to ride with their headlights on.
