Default blackline fog lights and headlight

i run into fog fairly often and the stock headlight is kind of a joke so i am looking to make some changes.....any ideas?

i was thinking some small low profile fog lights would be handy if they were placed somewhere on the lower part of the forks, perhaps where the fender bolts on or even the axle area... hell anywhere between those 2 locations should work.

and then there is the headlight...what have other people done to improve the poor footprint and brightness of that silly thing (i end up driving in the dark a lot)

A lot of people are happy with the HD LED headlight. $$$

I got a cheap HID kit off of eBay for my RK and am happy with it.
