Lightbulb Aux lights on a 2009 Fatboy Opinion

Looking for pics/opinions on aux/driving lights for my fatboy. Should I leave the blinkers up on the bars, relocate them, or buy the deluxe kit? I currently have the bullet style blinders with Custom Dynamics LED inserts and clear lenses. Any pics would certainly be appreciated for the decision. Thanks!

I hate TS on the bars; first thing I did to both my Fatboys was to relocate them with the aux lighting kit.

Did you buy the Fatboy Aux Lighting kit, or the Deluxe Lighting kit? Can you buy the Fatboy one, and a relocation kit for the factory bullets that came on it?

I went with the Deluxe Aux. kit also. Just makes the front end look more compact but beefier with turn signals under the lights, IMO. However, I'm going to put a drag bar type handlebar on and not sure if the lighting kit goes with that type of bar.

The answer to both questions is yes; but I'm at work (Germany) and don't have any part numbers handy.

I like the look of the Aux Lighting (spots) on a Fatboy, Heritage or Deluxe. IMO if your going to do it use the Deluxe Kit it is a better quality looking set up and move the T?S off the bars.

I have the Deluxe Kix on my bike.

I have the Aux Lights and the turn signals still on the bars. Just have not got around to change them. The problem w/ this set up is that the Wires for the Aux. lights hang out the bottom of the lights.

Put the signals under the passing lamps or on the forks at the lower part of the headlight tin.
