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)?

To get more light I replaced my stock bulb with a Sylvania Silverlight
Ultra. They have a whiter light and are 50% brighter than stock, while
rated at the same 55 watts. They make them in H7 size so they should fit
your bike.
