I installed these lights awhile back. Finally getting around to making a thread about it. I was "spending too much time in the garage" at the time if you know what I mean to post during the install.
I used learning from this thread for power distribution:

I know mine kind of looks like a rats nest. It was a quicker job than I would have liked. Mounted them to the front fender. Was planning on going the same route as the twisted throttle bike, but the fender mount kit didn't come with long enough bolts to use the spacers in the upper position by the fork tubes like I wanted. No time to stop and go to the hardware store so I mounted them a little lower and didn't use a spacer. Had to remove the side reflectors to make it work.
Mounted the on/off switch up by the frunk key hole.
All in all I like the lights and the extra light they provide. For being small the throw a lot of light down the road. Before I had them adjusted right I even got flashed by a few cagers who felt they were getting blinded. I also like how they make me more visible to other drivers. I work shift work and do quite a bit of after hours riding. So for me it was a good investment in my opinion, more light from good rugged, reliable LEDs without having to also purchase a light bar.
