The major problem I have with the halogen foglamp sla setup is weight and short run time. I've moved to instead using a couple high powered 4 watt LED flashlights (cree/luxeonK2) with spot beams mounted to the handlebars with 2 interlaced pipe clamps each. The weight is greatly reduced and the spot lets you see much further down the road than most foglamp type fixtures with ample flood. Right now I'm running the flashlights with high capacity nimh rechargeables but I plan on wiring them up to the rest of the bikes power system eventually. As an added benefit the LED's should never need replacement and they're advertised to run about 20 hours with a set of batteries. With that kind of current draw I can afford to run them while I ride during the day for extra safety. I bought a set of 2 lights for $28 at sams club with a set of disposable batteries included.
