Default Driving lights on Heritage Classic handlebars

Hello Y'll:

Has anyone ever installed driving lights on the handlebars of a Heritage Classic.
I want to add lights "chest high" so I'm more visible to vans and SUVs, especially when these vehicles are driving up ahead in a lane next to me. I'm trying to find a way to attach these lights using the mirror stem nut. Has anyone ever done this?

Thanks.

I can think of other ways to get more visible than what you're thinking. I would suggest under carriage neons. Not my cup of tea but it does stand out at night.
Usually the light bar with passing lamps and LED's at the rear brake/turn are the way to go for what you're thinking.
