white marker lights
looking for cheap white marker lights and maybe red rear, LED or bulb, but not for the price of kuryakyn, I'm sure that kuryakyn are good but way too much cash for wee marker lights.....!!!

If by "marker lights" you mean the turn signals, the bulbs are standard 1157 bulbs that can be found abundantly at any auto parts store in the US. I don't know if they're as common in Europe though. Amazon.com has clear 1157 bulbs in 10-packs for just over $5.50 (US).
If you're talking about replacing the lenses as well, then it's a different matter. Bear in mind that most places require indicator lights to be amber in order to maintain legality.

Perhaps mentioning that you're in Ireland in your post (or even anywhere in your profile) might help you net more helpful replies?

might want to take a look at these.

I have their 3-ways (run, stop, turn) in the back and am pleased with them.

Cheers for your reply.
Cheers for your reply.
For the rear it seems like the hyperlites that beaucoup linked to are the best choice, but if you want something with an actual beam pattern up front I unfortunately don't really see an inexpensive option. The "official" Harley driving light setup seems to be the best since it's about the same price as the kuryakyn setup but has its own switch and doesn't rely on scotch locks to connect into the bike's wiring system.
While the kuryakyn kits come with H3 bulbs, this also means that you have to be very careful where you're pulling their power from since the H3 is a 55 watt bulb and a pair of the means you'll be putting 110 watts of extra load on a circuit that probably wasn't designed for it.
The Harley kit comes with its own switch and wiring harness, so you aren't tapping into some random existing circuit, which is nice. The Harley kit does use harder-to-find bulbs (it comes with 881 bulbs which are 27 watts each, but will accommodate 886 bulbs which are 50 watts and more than double the lumen output of the 881s) though.
