Added a set of aux lights and two way switch. Amber and white driving lights. Works better than expected.

Did you just hardwire them in or use anything special? I have been toying with the idea of using something from
DENALI Electronics - LED Lights, CANsmart Controllers, Horns, & More
Hi I got the lights on ebay. The switch I got is US made and not expensive from 12Vtechnology.com I used the switched power spare spade connector leads (power and ground) found above the engine. I soldered and heat shrunk the switch and light leads together as that is a no fail connection.

Thumbs up. More light is always better.

And i say that with a bit of experience. august 2021, 1030 pm on my way home, two pitbulls ran out in the street,
directly in front of me, just after i clicked 5th gear (actually 4th, but I am geared 16/43).
well, one of them is outright dead; ended up taking me over the last year to mend/rehab my torn right shoulder.
maybe if there had been more light on the road, those toads wouldn't have jumped out from between those two cars
the way they did.
I don't ever wanna take that long getting back up again (but at least I never had a chance to even let go of the bike)

More light is always better.

Oh I got right back on the bike alright. I left the dumb dog there, of course, right after I reassured him how smart he really was.

But i really like your light options, I've been looking for the right set myself. Originally, and still occasionally, I was thinking more along the lines of something that functioned as a turn-actuated cornering light. I still have a tendency to wanna throw it over a little far in the dark, it would be nice to be sure I was on the line lol
