Well, save some money for the fines.  

Aside from that, are you looking for LED's that draw little power, or something else?  I bought, and installed, a set of these, off of e-Bay, on my touring machine:

They draw a total of 0.5 Amps, measured, 3 Watts per light, waterproof.  Being LED's, they can be strobed, if you can find a switching unit to flash them.  To mount them, I purchased a set of C-clamps, attached them to the engine guard bars, and used a flat piece of aluminum bar stock from a local DIY store.  Drill holes for the screws, screw them to the aluminum bar stock (cut to size with a hack saw, or a cut-off wheel on a moto-tool), and wire them into your power circuit.  They put out 350 Lumen(?) each (auto headlight is rated at ~700 Lumens), lighting up around 12 feet distance in front of the bike.  They create a triangle of lights in the front, which supposedly makes you very visible to oncoming traffic.  Cheers!
