If I remember correctly they are a bargan at approx $170 for those interested.
From a safety stand point a bike with a single light source is a liability if/when the bulb goes out after dark.

Found the LED driving light source. Go to Stromtroopers.com and do a search for Crazy George. He is American and sells from the U.S. The search will bring up a thread about the lights and a video of their ability to light up the night. More than illuminating.
