Auxiliary lights

While OK for driving straight, the headlights on my RDX are quite poor for driving in tight twisty mountain roads at night. The fog lights are useless, the light can barely be seen from inside the vehicle. I need lights to help me see into the corner, especially when the road is climbing. Ideal would be steerable HID lights like in my other cars, but easier might be to add some powerful (but small) auxiliary LED lights, as are common on ADV motorcycles. Does anyone know a clean way to install such things?

It’s almost like you need an aimable replacement for your fog lights.

Hmm, I have Advance FWD, and have no issues with the lights. They light up the road.

Do you use the automatic high beams?
