I like that. I would like to do the same thing. How did you do that?
Ebay is the best place to find the Fatboy headlight and passing lamp kit. Try to get the mounting block with the head light, the one that comes on the FX bikes does not work so well with the larger headlight. The kit has everything you need including a solenoid and a switch. They want you to get power from the highbeam side of the headlight but I took it off the ignition switch so the lights run on hi or low beams. They make another kit that hangs the turn signals from the passing lamps but I already had them mounted with clamps so I just moved them down...see the attachment. The switch is up by the horn and very easy to get at, it's waterproof.

I Paid 60 for the headlight and about 130 for the kit, just keep watching ebay:

I'm look for brighter light on the road. The new led headlight has a narrow "D" beam. Need to be spread out more I think. Its super bright. It might need to be adjust correctly. Ive been trying to adjust it correctly for low/hi beam.

I have the same lightand if you adjust it where you want it works good much better than the stock light. There are many choices of lighting you can add mostly trial and error for what works for you

Not sure I like all those big lights up front, but they don't look too bad.
But the BIG question I have is, how well do they work?

Any chance you can get a couple of pics of them shining up on a wall or something?

It's just what I have been thinking for my train also. I pulled the trigger on these from custom dynamics. I hope they are as cool as they look in the video. They are on the way and hope to have them tomorrow.
