Default Auxiliary Forward Lighting ?

New to HD. Just bought my first one in May. 2007 XL50. Been having fun changing things to make it more personalized. I'm thinkin' I might want to add some extra forward lighting, (don't ride at night) just would like to be more visible.
Any pictures or suggestions would be awesome. Hoping to keep the physical size down to a minimal ( not crazy about the large ones like the Heritage has)
Thanks in advance!

Nice bike..
I think money is better spent on the LED Headlight, that definitely makes you more visible during the day as well and superior lighting at night, Harley makes one, it's more expensive but it's really nice. I think it's the best way to go on a sportster. plus install is really quick & simple, with aux lights you'd have to do all that wiring.


plus you can sale your stock headlight lens on ebay, people still pay $40-$50 for them.. I think they are crazy but it's definitely worth listing.
