+1 on HyperLites, and a headlight modulator.

I too am extremely concerned about cagers, especially when they're on their cell phones!
I added front and rear headlight and taillight modulators from Comagination, the red lens rear turn signal kit from HD, and Motolight driving lights with 55w halogens in them.
You can't be seen too much.

You probably don't have room to mount lights on your engine guard, while the lowers are in place.

Lights from Walmart on engine guard with lowers on. 55 watt each, steel, chrome and $15.00.

+1 on the hd fog lamps on my 09 road glide (even though hd says they do not fit). my question is if i can find the harness that changes your rear turn signals into brake lamps also. from what i understand, the hd ones do not work with the stock led rear stop lamp. any ideas?

If you are referring to this kit, it has nothing to do with your tail light.

Everything on the back is wired through my Badlands Illuminator. It's all on when riding and it all gets brighter when a signal or brakes come on.
