That was actually my original plan when I bought them, but I would have had to put them so far back on the housing that they'd be partially hidden from even a few degrees away from head-on. I wanted them both to be visible from either side. I need to change the mounting so that the center of the bracket is bolted to the frame, then the light is bolted from the bottom through the bracket. As it is, I have a piece of all thread tightened down as much as I could into the frame, then a nut, the bracket, and the headlight. I can use the nut to tighten the bracket against the light, but have to rely on friction/loc-tite to keep the headlight pointing forward.
I had bought some "universal" 5.75 inch lights with LEDs on the sides (
