Default Crash bar lighting

Getting ready to do our annual trip up to northern PA this year. It's very dark up in the mountains at night and i've been thinking about adding some aux lights to run for night time. I would like to add some LED lights that mount off the crash bar and run them to my AUX switch. Anyone out there have a similar setup that they could recommend some brands of lights and share some pics?

Quite a while ago I picked up a set from DK Customs for about $50.00 I think. Should be okay but if not I can change them out easily enough. Paid about the same for a set of mounting brackets.

Awesome, I would love to hear your thoughts about them. Clearwater was one of the brands I was looking into.

Just checked out DK customs, they still offer a pair for $54. how did you like them? Im looking for something that actually gives me some light output down the road, rather than just more visibility to other drivers.

Got a set of Clearwater Darla’s mounted on front forks. These baby’s pack a punch

Paid $500 for mine..... don’t know where you got $900?? No more expensive than a set of H-D fog lights for my Roadglide. Way brighter uses less juice and don’t have to order 7 different pieces to make it work or drill holes in my fairing.
