Default Best driving lights

I am looking for the brightest driving lights to put on my engine guard? Have been looking at the KURYAKYN 5019 ENGINE GUARD MOUNTED DRIVING LIGHTS or the Harley Engine Guard-Mounted Fog Lamps 68913-98C. I want the best one to brighten up the night.

You may also want to check into what Custom Dynamics has to offer as well as Moto Lights.

Good luck with your decision.

the ridgidindustries LEDs are powerful for sure and website fully shows how each type projects light and the lumens etc for comparison.
the issue is how to mount them. The light bracket is very poorly designed in my opinion. about $100 + each and some kind of mounts, maybe p-clamps would be needed.

If you want a very good, strong aux lighting system, and as hard to believe as it is, the HD lights that fasten to the engine guards are very strong, reliable and easy to install. The wiring can be routed through the engine guard too if you are so inclined. Price is right too.

I have been thinking how to tuck a 6" SR (combination Driving/Spot) up under the lower triple tree. It's 7" between forks but just nothing to attach it to. Thinking I can use the two screw holes that I'm using for the lil wind deflector but would have to remove the deflector.

Look at the universal mount,looks good to me. These lights are made for the off-road market,didn't see any complaints on the site..........You really can't compare the HD lights to these.
