Aux Lighting for G650/F650 recommendations please!

Been looking through the forum and a number of other online resources for info on aux lighting for my new G650GS... so MANY choices from Hella to Tourtech... I'm a little overwhelmed and confused by the options., but definitely finding the OEM lights fairly inadequate once I get off of the city streets and into the hills or backroads.

My parameters include wanting a fog light (very foggy in the SF Bay Area hills!) and a bright driving light for dark unlit/underlit roads. Oh, and I'm not particularly mechanically inclined, so anything that involves creating custom mounts and a more DIY approach is out, even though I realize this would probably be the cheapest route.

One last overall question, which options could be used in traffic without irritating other drivers? I realize that a nice HID spot might be too bright for oncoming cars, but since my experience with them is limited I'm not sure where that line lies.

Thanks!
 
I have the PIAA 510 ATP on my F800GS and they are mounted with the Best Rest mount that goes between the beak and the fairing part. Fairly easy install and the PIAA comes with a relay so they go on and off with the ignition.

I don't know if you are also interested in upgrading your turn signals to LED, but I just purchased a set from Tony Baker, US distributor for Weiser.

I learned about these on the ADV Riders forum. I ordered them on Wednesday and it took me less than 1/2 hour to install them today. Very simple install and I am very pleased with the results! Installed front and back on an 09' F650gs Twin.
