Extra lights on the Thar: spots on the bar, or nothing at all?

The stock headlamps are honestly fine on tar. It's the broken-stone stretches after dark, when you're reading a line two feet ahead of the bumper, that make me want more light.

Before I bolt anything on I went looking at the actual rule, and Acko's write-up on lighting challans puts it plainly: four lamps up front is the ceiling, and that count includes your fogs and any auxiliary you add. White or yellow only, nothing blue. First improper-lighting challan is ₹500, which is pocket change, but the cop asking you to unbolt it by the roadside is the part that actually ruins a trip.

So my plan is a small pair on the bar, on their own switch with a telltale on the dash so I can never leave them burning, and nothing on the roof. A roof bar sits exactly at oncoming eye level, and that feels like borrowing trouble.

Those of you running a bar already, how do you handle it on the highway?
