Question F2 streetfighter headlight?

I've been working on my F2 turning it into a streetfighter. I've found just about everything i need to know, except for useful information on what kind of headlight to install. I want a classic round headlight, one or two doesn't matter, but I just dont know what to get or any headlight brands, whether one is more trusted than the other etc. I'm on a tight budget, but any suggestions would be helpful. I need the mounting bracket too. In a perfect world, I would buy a decently priced light with quality. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I went with a Buell Dual headlight, nice lighting. Around $100. Make your own brackets or find a friend that knows how to. Shouldn't spend more that $10 on metal.

Where can i find them? I've been looking online but can't find them. And also, would it be more cost effective to just buy a bucket shell and purchase the light separately? either way I'm going to make my own brackets thank you for that
