Default driving lights for 2008 Road Glides

Has anyone seen driving or fog lights for a 2008 Road Glide? The mounting bracket for the faring makes it so the Harley lights which mount on the engin guard won't fit.



Treat everyone with dignity and respect, but have a plan to kill them just in case.

Kuryakyn makes a neat looking setup (albeit pretty expensive). Their setup replaces the existing front turn signals with a unit that has two lights, one for the turn signal and the other a driving light. Here's the link: Driving Lights for Road Glide

I saw a thread here a few months ago that had some Running lights (PIIA?) mounted on the Road Glide down on the bottom of the engine guard, and I thought the poster said he got them at WalMart. I was surprised at how good they looked and he had a great little review. I'll try is see if I can find it...

I think this might be the thread bigsky is thinking about from TheShrink
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...ng-lights.html

I considered this before going w/ the HD ones. I think it might depend on how nice a light you can find at your local wal-mart as I'm sure the stock may very from time to time, but it did seem to work out well for TheShrink

Now that I read bigsky's post again, this isn't a road glide and I don't think they're PIAA lights, but they do mount on the engine guard of I'm sure any Harley depending on what clamps you use, and would be compatible w/ fairing lowers, which is what I think the OP wanted to do, but I'm sure there are higher end lights you could do the same thing w/

Looks like your pic doesn't have the lower fairings? I think the OP said he didn't think they'd fit because of the bracket for the fairing, maybe he has a lower fairing and needs something smaller or that mounts in a different location...

I have put the Wally World bullet lights on mine. I also have the lowers installed. I have them mounted with the Kury 'P' clamps. Can't get you pictures at this moment. The only thing I disliked about the set up is I have more wiring showing up than I really wanted.
