Cheap Dual Headlight Option

Does anyone know of a cheap option for dual headlights on an old '68 Honda CL350? I realize this isn't the typical base for such lights, but I really think it would fit the look I'm going for.

My bike is definitely a "budget build," however, and I am not paying over $100 for the kits. Does anyone know of perhaps a more "homemade" approach to this? Am I out of my mind considering auto fog lights as an option? ???

Thanks!
 
In my opinion these older bikes need one BIG headlight up front - but as I said thats my opinion...

Yeah, I'm still just kind of toying with the idea. Really, I love the single headlight. And it is a budget build. ;)
 
I paid about $120 for my lights from OCS.....but there high quality h4 lights...made the brackets myself from some scrap ally..I looked around for awhile and this was the cheapest and best looking option ;D
 
Look at Buell lightning headlights, they're surprisingly cheap even directly from Harley.

theres a good explanation of different auto lights here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_lighting

including this passage:
Use of the front fog lamps when visibility is not seriously reduced is often prohibited (for example in the United Kingdom), as they can cause increased glare to other drivers, particularly in wet pavement conditions, as well as harming the driver's own vision due to excessive foreground illumination.....

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
 
Wow, I think I've got headlight envy, with my little 7". :P

I'm still considering doing this, but I guess it's on the back burner. Being a budget build with an as yet unrunning engine, I've got other things to spend my money on.

But I'm going to keep thinking on it. Thanks guys!
 
$50, great price, until you're pulled over for them. Best bet is to use SAE or DOT lights to avoid hassles and tickets.
 
Where did you find your lights at? I like the H4 option. I swapped the original headlights from my jeep wrangler for H4 conversions. Best purchase I ever made. So, would like to do the same for my bike. Thanks.
