Looking for cheap running/ driving lights. Probably fork mount. I have read about all the good lights but there is no money right now so I'm thinking ebay/Amazon cheap. Anybody using somthing something they are happy with that was under 100? Under 50? Thanks in advance......Skip

 
Go to Wal-Mart, Home Depot or Lowes, which ever is close to you and buy two led flash lights. Buy some aluminum stock and make brackets to mount them on the forks. I think you can do all this for under $50. Use re-chargable batteries so you can charge them as needed. Keep in mind, this is not something I would do!!!

 
I have a pair of LED work lights mounted on Garald brackets below my mirrors. I don't remember where I got them, but they look a lot like these: https://www.amazon.com/Round-Light-Power-Tractor-Degree/dp/B007ZGBLNW

They are big and heavy for fork mounting, but they are inexpensive and effective.

These are smaller and might be a better option for your needs: https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-Driving-Mounting-Bracket-Warranty/dp/B00G620ZVU/ref=pd_sim_263_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00G620ZVU&pd_rd_r=WR2Y25K1Y8EWWTPV519W&pd_rd_w=SwAir&pd_rd_wg=1FXh3&psc=1&refRID=WR2Y25K1Y8EWWTPV519W

I met a few guys at EOM last week who had fork mounted LED lights purchased for under $50.00 but I'm not sure who made or sold them. They were bright and the riders were very happy with them.

Model 30 and 44 are a bargain at these prices https://stores.advmonster.com/led-lights/

I have no idea how the Photobucket BS is in this post nor can I figure out how to delete it. .
I have a model 30 and 44 on 2 different bikes. On both bikes the black anodizing turned to a bronze color and one of the lights always has moisture in it. I've tried sealing it with RTV but it still always has moisture. In correspondence with Advmonster, I was told to paint them. You get what you pay for.

 
Got the same ones and they've held up well so far. I use them on a small bike for around town and they definitely help to be seen. Hard to beat the price but don't expect much light thrown down the road though.
I have a set of flame throwers that are already mounted on the bike and are wired to only come on with the high beams. These little puppy's are going to be directly wired to the key switch to stay on all the time. You see you have no need for a dimmer switch with this setup.

So I got Try these https://www.amazon.c...ID=61F-YCsm-oL. Last night. Best 35 dollars I have spent.I aimed them just a little higher than my lowbeam and aimed the right side light to illuminate the side of the road. The left one I aimed a little lower to not blind oncoming. They really helped with the night blindness because now the right side of the road is lit up so much better I can glance over there when oncoming traffic blinds me. Lets see how long they last.
