Default Lighting Questions

I searched around for some reasonably priced driving lights for my fat bob. I found some info in the how to under 50 bucks section but the link is no good anymore.
Can anyone reccomend some driving lights they picked up recently?

The thing is I just got a fatboy headlight and installed it on my Fat Bob with a phase 7 truck light.
I love how it looks and at night the light is pretty amazing.
My fear is how dim it appears during the daylight.
I was thinking some small affordable driving lights could make me more visible during the day.
Am i being paranoid about this and shouldnt worry?

I had planned on getting a Daymaker but the price pretty much kills it. That and I rarely ride at night. So, I'm riding with my brights on, for the poor mans version of a LED headlight.

If you're worried about yours being dim during the day, run with it on bright. I don't know how bright it'll be, since I have zero experience with them.

I bought Custom Dynamics LED lights for my turn signals. The ones called Ringz have a circle of LED's that stay on and are real bright. When you turn on the signals they come on amber and the white LED's go out. It gives you a little more bright light on the front to be seen.
