Seems the engine guard mount would keep the light more constant in the twisties at night, similar to how the Road Glide lights do. I am interested to know how much more helpful they are in the twisties. That's the part that I hate about the LED projectors.
I have many night rides in the Black Hills behind me now & I can say for certain, these lights will light up the shoulders & ditches. It's better than any of my previous bikes' lighting, allowing me to pick up the wildlife in plenty of time to slow or stop when required.
Just doesn't have a good install look to it with the link of wire and the several hardware links to the final mount point.
Unless you're installing battery powered lights, they're all going to require a wiring harness. Don't install them on your bike & you won't have to look at wires & mounts.
Did you install the Cirius lights yourself? If so how difficult was it to install?
Dirt simple to install. Just need a few 1/8" drill bits and a tap for the crashbar. It's very hard steel and you will break a couple bits and taps in the process. Use the same switch setup as any other fog light setup. Your wires come out of the crashbar up under the neck where ya can't see it then right into a harness.
Well, I now understand your issue with my lights. Looks like you selected a product that meets your sense of aesthetics. The do look pretty bright, but w/o reflectors to focus the light & only 300 lumens each, do they provide sufficient illumination to put that light where it's needed for night riding?
My Darla's are 2000 lumens each of reflector focused light. Other than that concern, it's looks like a very good addition to your visibility lighting up front in a clean, compact package that allows the wiring to be hidden inside the engine guards.
To each his own; still like my lights & have no regrets with the installation. I'm sure you feel the same about yours.

The dual LED headlights provide sufficient light for night driving in most conditions. 80+ mph at night in rain is over driving them. The fog lights do fill in close in front of the bike but that's only useful so you can see what you're about to hit. These provide the additional visibility so others can see me.
I put Clearwater Krista on the left and Erica on the Right. 9,000 Lumens is a heck of a lot of light, but I can dial them down to a low setting and use the brights to burn down the woods!
By the way, I could not find the hot lead on the high beam for FLHTK 2017. It's the blue and white, the Blue is low beam.

At 2000 to 9000 lumens, I pity who ever meets you. You'll not only be burning down the woods but their eyeballs as well. LOL!
