Let There Be Light?



Anyone use driving lights with good or bad experience? While the stock headlight on the NT700V is fine for around town and freeway use, I am looking for something that provides better visibility going into a corner on secondary roads, and for seeing mobile hazards such as opossums and raccoons on the shoulder. Also, since I travel at night quite a bit, a back-up would be nice in case of bulb failure, since trying to get at the bulb is reportedly a major operation in a lighted garage with a full tool kit (so in the dark and rain with a minimal tool kit does not sound appealing).

Needs to be something that:

1. Is for sale in the US (or by someone who takes credit cards and ships to the US);
2. Will not blind on-coming drivers/at least quasi-legal for road use;
3. Does not require custom fabrication by a machinist to mount;
4. Weatherproof, since I ride in the rain.

I see that Honda offers fog lights for the Deauville? Any good, and any UK dealer that would ship across the pond (since along with several other accessories, not imported by Honda to NA)?
