Anyone know the best and easiest set of driving lights to put in the Vaquero fairing? Thanks for any info.

OEM... That's all that anyone has ever put in there. After you've spent up large on a set of those, you can spend even more & mount a set of LED spots into the OEM driving light shells using Engineered Adapter's kit.

But you'll always need a set of the OEM driving lights to start with.

Oh, & welcome to the forum from NZ!

Ditto on what Peg said on engineered adapters and having stock OEM lights to start with. Made quite a difference for night driving for deer and such. Welcome to the forum. EH!

This is what I did

I put 9 switch back leds in mine. Wasn't quick or easy but was relatively cheap. I put the turn signals in there as well , that's why I used switch backs.

That is also what I did. Moved the turn signals in to the DRIVING LIGHT housing.




Ride safe,
