Advice needed on tiny spotlights. LED?

Well as you know the picture below is my daily transport. My main issue at the moment is that the headlight although fantastic still doesn't provide enough wide/low light for me to see the road surface infront of me. I ride to work and front work 80% in the darkness so it is a bit of an issue to me.

I've got the plan on sticking on driving lights in those front vents you cant see *the triangle looking vents* which are just aestetic, they serve no function except looks.

I cant find any tiny spotlights that will fit easily, so im considering maybe something LED based. Can anyone help me find a suitable product? I'm happy with custom mounting a raft of LED's throughout the vents, or retrofitting a mini set of lamps within.

MMmmm, that bike is pleasing me. Love the shape. Is that yoshi exhaust?

I thought there was a bloke in the traders section who did a bit of work with LED's. You might even have a look at projector lights?

are you 100% sure that they are purely aesthetic?? cus they look like air pickups for the intake lol
how bout putting mini spoties on the forks i allways wanted to do that (not driling them in ofcourse more like using hoze clamps) but i never had a bike
that way u get corner lighting (when u turn) car companies spent big money to create this for new gen cars

yep 100% aesthetic the intake is actually under the petrol tank and routes somewhere random. on the forks is ok, but id rather keep the bike without too make bits everywhere.

and yes a yoshi RS-3 which people love, until they see its on a hyosung. then they tell me to get a real bike :P
