A mod I'm thinking of doing is to wire in a 2nd loom so I can operate the lights without main beam for foggy conditions, but I'm not sure how effective that'd be and the extra hassle of more cables.

Bandola- when I got the bits I thought something similar, lot of money for what it is I guess, but better than many options. For those that don't know, the bracket hangs off the the cockpit subframe, reach under your light and you'll find 2 metal bars side by side (like thick twin wire) with cabling for the cockpit on top of it. The bracket clamps in to it so you could make your own thing.
I looked at those lights and they look good (similar to solstice), but was too impatient with the seller's hols. Be interesting to see how they do and what quality they are. Ones I have look and feel good quality, time will tell though!

Final words of encouragement aumed at hebbo, do it now! Winter will be over in a few months and you won't need additional lights!

Ok. So i will have to get an extra switch. I just ordered these lights and the bracket. My intention is to wire them to the Centech fuse box (hence connected to the battery) with a switch (independent of the hi/low beam).

This is in prep of a long trip, so not intended for immediate use. I hope the LED lights will give some decent light
