i replaced the bolts that hold the light cluster with long stainless bolts of 5" which secured 4" of tube which i attached the light to and the power was supplied from a aux cigarette/usb socket which has a built in on/off switch i run from the battery and fixed to the headlight frame  there is two fuses on route pretty easy really

Hobby-horse time again!

If that totally dazzling glare were coming straight at me when I was pressing on in the car at night, I doubt I would be able to see to miss you.

I reckon there are two types of front light, those to with and those to be seen by.
As you already have a dipped headlight working any other daytime use lights are there to attract the attention of other road users. So a diffused lens with a different colour might be more effective in being seen.
You might not then bump into Brian.

Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.

And believe me Ron, at the speed I drive, it wouldn't be a 'bump'.

And at 2 tons unladen weight, I wouldn't even notice the 'bump'.

I actually sat alongside a thirty-something bimbo at lights. She was only holding the wheel with her palms, fingers splayed. It took a while for the penny to drop, she was waiting for her obviously recently applied nail varnish to harden 🙄
