depends on what you wanna do..etc...

Well, no matter how small I make the image,cant get it to upload. Says its bigger the 800 x 1600...though, everything on MY end tell me 600x600 @ 60k oh well... yes, I have dual lights on mine....

But yeah, it can be done...

mine is a set of Driving lights available at just about any auto parts store..

I used driving lights, as provide a longer narrower beam, fog lights dont project out as far...

I wired them appropriately..

Used the stock brackets..

Oh yeah, the light I am using for my Hi Beam, is a 100 watt bulb... left the 55 watt for the low beam...

I did it twice, once in early 03 (why do you think the XBS have there lights like that ;))and the other in 05

Here is the pic of the 05 job, I do not have a pic off hand of the 03 job but you may find it here on the BadWeb.

I always use driving or projector lamps. Fog lamps have a shield so the beam always points down.

How you mount em is your flavor...

I am adding a XBS head light assembly this year...



I did find a pic of the 03 job, it is small but you get the idea
