What lights do I need?

I want to install some driving lights.  I was thinking of mounting them on the upper part of the engine guard, since my Highway pegs are on the lower part.  I want lights to help me be seen, but I also want to light up left and right to some degree, so I can see better cornering at night.

What do I need?  Rectangular driving lights, round spots, fog lights, or ?????

I was looking at the round and rectangular ones at Walmart.  But I just can't buy Chinese unless I have no choice ('nother subject.)  Anyway, does anyone know of lights made somewhere besides China, that don't cost as much as Kury?

I have some 30 amp relays and harnesses on the way.  Wiring is not a problem.

Thanks

These are off a HD light bar, mounted to the crash bar with 2 piece clamps available from JC Whitney, and so are the lights.  Triangle formed by them and the headlight is very visible to oncoming traffic.  I use 35 watt floodlights on my, available there, too, or at any auto part store.

Best light for the money anywhere.  A pair of these on my interstate (55watts each but rated at 85 Watts), mounted on my fork wings, are much brighter than my fairing lights (55-60 H4 bulbs) on bright.  

$254 with mounts to your front fender bolts (you may need a longer metric bolt)

Like this:

$228 with no mounts, to jury rig to your upper engine guards (or somewhere else).

Want to be more visible?
That`s why I choose the BULLET LIGHT. High Visible angle because of the Convex lens.

The question is not what you look at...but what you see...

We got motolights at Prescott several years ago.  Still love them and have NEVER replaced a bulb.  Now that I say that I'll probably be doing it next week.  HAHAHAHAHA

Keep the chrome up.
