Driving light help needed

Just installed these on my wifes Fat Boy. She loves the look of the aux driving lights but hates the bolts used to attach the lights to the bar. They look unfinshed and like they should have a nice cover or something for them. She dislikes them showing so bad she may have me remove the whole thing and take it back.....And she rather not relocate the turn signals. Anyone else think this looks cheesy and came up with something to cover them up??

Thanks for any ideas, I really dont want to take the darn things off after just getting them on......

They're similar to this.

I Bought These

I put these on my Road King a few years ago. Top quality! A Bit more money but worth it. The turn signals stay where they are also.

If you're talking about the side bolts to the fork, I used chrome bolts that I purchased separately. Bought them here: http://www.allensfasteners.com/searc...7&txtCatName=2 ,

Probably could replace the light attachments similarly if you know the hardware sizes.

Too late now, but you should have gotten the aux lights that came with the turn signals. No relocation really, just removing the original lights, or I guess you could leave them on and have pairs of turn signals in the front.

Harley makes (or made) a decorative nut with a hole in it for the leads. They are chrome and kind of bullet shaped. I found them on Ebay. I also added stainless braiding to clean it up.
