Driving lights

I'm looking for some driving lights for my WG. Seems like on my back roads, I can't see far enough ahead with the light I have as a headlight. I don't like the looks of a light bar, I want to keep it as clean as I can but still blast through the darkness.
I was thinking of small lights mounted low on the frame. Any recommendations?

HD makes lights that mount to the engine guard/crash bar. You may be better off upgrading your headline instead if you need more light down the road.

There are a few options for fog lights that can mount off your caliper, or forks. HD makes a nice set as does Kuryakyn and PIAA. I'd look for led lamps and something that uses 2 bolts or a very secure mounting system

The led headlight is pretty good as well. I think "daymaker" has a youtube video showing the difference in visibility

This setup is from Headwinds, The bracket is slick.....as it looks like part of the tripple tree. This is also a wide glide front end.

I installed the HD LED headlight on my '10 SuperGlide. It throws a lot of white light and made it possible for me to ride at night with confidence and without my headlight being drowned out by oncoming traffic. HD LED vs Kuryakyn (Truck Lite): both put out about the same amount light. HD light pattern is very well defined, sharper cutoff, more light thrown on road surface, more expensive, 5-minute install with a screwdriver. TruckLite LED is more visible to oncoming traffic, light pattern is more diffused, less expensive.
