Does anyone know if you can find something like the old PIAA mounting brackets that came with the old PIAA kit? I am also a returning S10 rider that had the old kit on my 2013. I like the look of the under nose mount better than the Denali bracket or similar. Even id they are old and outdated (so am I ! ) I would prefer to find a way to go back t0 the PIAA LP530. The lights are still available, but not the brackets.

The Baja Designs (squadrons) have a bracket like that and If I remember correctly fit nice up in that space.... I can post a picture of mine for reference....

PIAA is now super dated technology. You would be much better off going with something from Baja Designs, Denali, or Diode Dynamics.
Cyclops Adventure Sports
I bought a pair of Long Range Optimus LED Auxiliary 20 degree ights back in Dec 2013, so 10 years old now.
With a LIFETIME WARRANTY
I've since moved them from the old Tiger 885i to my Super Tenere.
These are solid, well built, bright, low current draw..
Granted the price is now 27% higher, but still, 10 years old and still working just fine?
Oh, did I say LIFETIME WARRANTY?

+1 on the Clearwater lights. They are also Lifetime warranty. You pay for them but they are really two light sets in one. Turn on brights and they come on at 100% brightness. Turn on your low beam and they dim to whatever you have the rheostat set too. I have mine at 30% power when my low beams are on. I had one get some moisture inside. They said to send it in with my order number and they will repair or replace. No questions at all. I have the Sevina/Super Sevina hybrid set. Sevina i a spot. Mounted on the left side. Super Sevina is a spot/flood combo. This allows for the ditch to your right to be lit up far enough ahead to see a deer and to react. Total of 18,500 lumens down range. My wife saw the price and then after I mounted them I took her for a night ride. I turned them on bright and I heard... Oh Wow, why don't we have these on our cars!
Lights and mounting process is documented in my "What has TenereGUY been up to" thread.

Found the post. Also the next one tells where I tapped into keyed power for the brights.

Y'all are more committed to your auxiliary lighting than I am I guess! I do like the look of the Clearwater Ericas, and I have no doubt that they are better than the old PIAAs at 20x the wattage, but that is a steep price tag! I'm more of a "good enough" kinda guy. I like the look of the PIAAs and they are good enough for my needs, especially at ~ $229 for a set. That said, I do appreciate everyone's commitment to more/better!

Well then... I have a used set or two of the PIA sports in a drawer. Probably will never use them either. Took them off of my Goldwing.

Im in similar situation, just I have already made the first step - have bough PIAA LP530 fog lights kit for car. Mounting brackets, harness and switch are not enough or completely non suitable for mounting on motorcycle and need to be reworked or replaced. Im trying to find OEM fog lights brackets for mounting on Yamaha OEM Engine guard . They are always included in the kit as well, but dont needed in case if fog lights were mounted under headlight using Cowling brackets. May somebody has them and you are not against to sale them by reasonable price ?

What are you using as a mounting bracket?
An idea was and still is to find OEM fog lights brackets for mounting on Yamaha OEM Engine guard ( post above). But for the first time I have ordered from Aliexpress two types for the checking if they fits. The one of them at left side looks not bad solution until I will find OEM for engine guard.
