Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it
this is the reason i always pack a bivi tent .. esbit stove with fuel
and a can or 2 of cambell's soup when i go on week end rides

and get good rest for the sunday trip home

Not wanting to sound "Anti American" or anything, but it does sound like the american way. 
I always like to travel light, better to know how to do without, than to carry extra weight!
Out of interest, driving lights are not normally found in Europe, how much difference do they make, I'm assuming that by having them on the handlebars, it allows you to see around corners?
Wouldn't you me better off using a brighter main light? 
Yours

A brighter main light is on my to do list. But a friend burned his headlight socket using too a too hot bulb, so I'm being careful. The lights mounted on the bars widen my field of vision as well as turn with the bars. You never know when Bambi is going to dart into the road.

Hi
I fitted driving lamps to my baggi. Used some old Honda handle bar clamps to fix them to the bars that go around the headlight area.
