Well - the sub-forum says "The good, the bad and the ugly of lighting" so here I present to you 2 of the 3 above...the good and the ugly, all in one :D
I set these up about 3 1/2yrs ago and they've been perfect for my needs
The lights themselves are Adventure Kings branded 7" LED driving lights typically seen on the front of 4WDs
They are mounted on L brackets that are bolted through the screen frame so effectively they're a part of the screen assembly now. I generally only have the screen on the bike for trips and LDR rides so they're not on permanently
Wiring is fed from a new circuit through a relay for each light and are triggered from the hi-beam switch. I also have an isolator switch wired in so that hi-beam can be used with or without the aux lights. The lights both plug in so fitment/removal is only a 10-15min job involving 4 bolts and 2 plugs for the whole screen/lights assembly
All up cost was around the $100 mark
Pretty ugly face-on, but effective

The pics don't really do it justice as they're low-res ones that I've downloaded from Facebook, taken on a short dead-end road around the corner from home when I was playing around with aiming
I've seen a few amused truckies as I've flipped them on as I draw level with the cab when overtaking
Who said lighting up had to be pretty?
Nice set up and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 8)
Yeah, I'll take function over form any day. Good job!
