Is there a "best" way?

I like light bars that put spots next to the headlight. It lets the beam angle down to the road, and gives more light where you need it. But there are disadvantages. I've seen guys with bright spots too near their turn signals and at times you can't tell that they are signaling, it's too bright next to the turn signals for the signals to stand out.

That would favor lights down by the crash bars. I suppose there could be two reasons to have lights, one is to put light on the roadway, and the other is to make more light for cars to see you. I suppose where you put them depends on what your main objective is.
