Has anyone installed driving lights?

[ClassicVW_imp]

I'm asking if anyone has put additional front lighting on their CB? I haven't seen it mentioned in the farkles/accessories section. Some of you have commented about people pulling out in front of you and various other near misses. I realize people will say it will ruin the retro look of the bike, but I ask this question purely from a safety standpoint.

A couple of years ago I bought a used BMW RT-P, the police model. In PD use it has two front facing large round red and blue emergency lights mounted just above the handlebars. The PDs remove the emergency lights when they auction the bikes off, and the buyer who I bought from used those mounting points and put on there two PIAA driving lights. I began to notice that absolutely NOBODY cut me off or turned left in front of me. I have since put Denali driving lights mounted on the front fenders of subsequent bikes I purchased and notice at least a 75% decline in near misses.

I found this post from last December :

Thanks for finding that. I wouldn't have thought of using "recognition lights" in my search terms.

The NT that I have now has those lights down on the fender just like in that second photo.
I didn't even install an on/off switch. They are on whenever the bike is running.

One of the subtle touches I miss from the VFR is lighting. It had large, twin headlights for low beams and two more for the high beams. Those brights were unbelievable. I was never missed when I had those on.

edit: Well, maybe not so subtle.

These p3 Skene lights were mentioned in another post...I like the front ones mounted on the lower forks!

The Skene Photon Blasters are not for illumination but for enhanced visibility for safety. So it depends on what you want extra illumination for night driving or safety visibility.
