Thinking I would like additional lighting on my P5, besides headlight bulb upgrades. What lighting mods have you done to your machines? Brownie points for pictures.

Be careful of the Amazon special. The top light bar is Amazon, very light weight and feels cheap. The bottom light bar is a KC light and much better quality.
It'd be nice if Strongmade offered their front bumper with integrated cube lights. (And a front shackle point 
)

There are a lot of choices when it comes to auxiliary lighting, finding the best fit for your application will be the most difficult part of the project. Not saying any one is better than another but I went with the following from Tractor Supply Company - Photos are aux light only without headlights and untouched. I'm sure some other configurations will give more light output, but this has worked for me so far.
Best of luck in your quest for your auxiliary lighting.
Front Aux
Mount - which works great on a Strong-Made front bumper
Going down our driveway
On Road
Rear, in case you're interested later on - mounted high, but below roof line

Sorry about the duplicates, I don't know why the links duplicated, I only included one link per page and the original post showed three for each, tried to edit and got it down to two.

I went with black oak led. 20 " combo spot/flood on the front osram bulbs which is almost to bright 22000 lumen. same light on rear but 6" 8600 lumen. not the cheapest but the owner of the company told me of a guy with one on the front of dodge tk that rear ended a tractor trailer at 55 mph and the light was unbroken and still worked. just an option to check out. family owned in FLA.

Thanks, there are some really fun and different switch's out there.
I have to admit that when I plowed snow last week, which was the first time I drove my P520 in the dark, I was shocked at how poor the stock headlights were. I had already installed a forward-facing light bar on the front lip of the Honda hard roof, and was very glad I did. The main reason I installed it was to make sure the plow wasn't blocking the all of the light. The plow could have been one of the reasons the headlights seemed so dim when I plowed. But based on the other night, I would consider a light bar a necessary upgrade on any P520 right from the start, regardless of whether or not you plow. I will probably install a small rear-facing floodlight light bar to help with backing up when plowing. It was very difficult to see through the rear Honda soft panel when backing up in the dark (it was also snowing hard, which might have contributed to the problem).
