Default Freewheeler driving lights , or passing lights kit??

Doesn't anyone make a kit that is Plug and Play to add two driving lights to the front of a Freewheeler? Some call them passing lights.
I have been all over YouTube but they always seem to need modifications to make them work, things I do not have, or the ability to make. I thought after about 10 years they would have a plug and play made to fit front driving lights kit wirh all the hardware, to add the 2 lights on the Freewheeler front by now.!!!
I'm not mechanically inclined , but I can do most all plug and plays.
Is there anything out there I'm not finding??

I too wanted driving lights (FLRT 2015) I searched & searched called my dealer, make this short, I went with a new LED head light ($165$) & LED turn signals (front) (106$) now I can see from shoulder to shoulder on the road I mean it lights up the whole road.
I'm a happy camper with this set up.

We have the same set up, but I can't see any help at night with the bright Custom Dynamics turn signals. I had the driving lights on my road king, it came that way . I loved them it really helped at night, plus people could see me better in the daytime.
The way the front turn signals are installed on the freewheeler is apparently the issue.

I did the same on my Tri Glide with the turn signals. I think you stand out more than the stock yellow ones which is what I wanted. I added the LED plug and pay brake lights and added LED fender blades as well. The more lights the better. I’ve had added driving lights on my two wheelers before and if I did much riding at night anymore I’d get them to give me the added peripheral vision at night. The LED turn signals aren’t enough for me but I’m an older guy and don’t see like I used to. I haven’t seen plug and play driving lights since there’s nothing exposed to plug into as far as I know.

Exactly, and the turn signals on the front of a Freewheeler are fixed in a different spot then other Harleys. I think that's the reason no one makes a kit for front driving lights. I want them more for being seen in daylight from the front. The Custom Dynamics turn signals help, but the 2 extra driving lights would be much better.

I added "spot lights" driving lights with the fender bolts on my RG3. Bought lights for about $20 a pair at Walmart.
They are extremely bright. I have them patched to my handle bar buttons. Can turn them Off/on/ or flashing/modulating.
They give me extra light when turning corners at night since they face the direction of the front tire rather than the frame mounted
headlights. I always ride with them flashing during the day for more visibility by cars.

Be careful about State laws regarding lights. 😉
In Virginia, we are only allowed 3 white lights facing forward with Low Beam.
With any Aux lights disabled when High Beams are on.
”Halo” lights are usually ok

Looks good, but I want the extra lights up higher. My main concern is being seen by oncoming traffic.

Found out recently VA amended the rules to allow motorcycles to run Aux lamps with High beams. 🤔👍
