Default Crash bar driving lights

visability is a good thing to have, day or night. Down here in florida, the senior capital of the world,its essential to be scene and heard because of all the old farts( my self included). With that in mind I am considering putting driving lamps mounted to the crashbar on my 2018 triglide. I want to mount them on the outside of the bar but I want them to extend forward to clear the lower fairing. I know Harley has them available for an arm and a leg, but I’m interested to know if any of you have come up with any thing as good or better than Harley’s mega buck setup. I know that I will have to use their wire and switch kit to get a nice clean look, so it’s the lamps and brackets that I’m interested in. I’m open to all suggestions on a quality setup. Thanks for your comments.........

I'm looking for something similar but to mount on the bottom crash bar bolts or down close to the bottom of the bike. I'm looking for bright amber LED lights personally. Two reasons: I work in a very foggy area and early mornings are tough visibility wise. The headlight alone does well but the amber color penetrates the pea soup a little better. I have a bright white LED headlight, and the combo of bright white and amber are good to be seen. My buddy's BMW has a similar setup and even with the sun in your face and him coming towards you, that light combo is very visible. I've found a few things that will work but none that aren't bulky looking. I want something pretty inconspicuous.

Did you mount a switch in one of the auxiliary ports at the ignition housing or some where else? If you used a Harley switch might you still have the part number? Thanks......

I chased down one of the old rectangular pairs, changed to led and mounted
not a cheap fix, but looks great

I have the same lights. I think they help with being seen.

With the Stealth Driving Lights, they can be mounted low....




and inside-





Or midway and wider-




Either way they really light up the road, and help you be seen, day & night.

To install the switches on the dash panel does the ignition **** have to be removed to be able to access installation and if so Is it difficult to do or is there a different way to get the job done?
