Flip the lights up and get a shorter mount bolt and you will have a great affordable option.

I was undecided on whether to mount them up or down. I figured they might be less likely to move if they were mounted down. I'd have to cut a new mounting bracket if I wanted to flip them, so I might just leave it as it stands. The hardware though should be replaced with something a little higher quality, and the correct length, I agree.

All in, without the switch, I think this came in under $70. The switch alone was $60.

I also like to paint any exposed bolts black, and use nylock nuts.

When it comes to experimenting with added lighting, I've been there and done that. These are from one experiment on one bike:

it dried the asphalt lol
