Friends, first I want to tell you that I am a night rider. So I am in search of a bright light for my Apache RTR 160. I have 2 major requirements-
i.- Long coverage of road by light in high beam mode and
ii.- At the same time, well lighted area of the next few feet of my right and left hand side.

HERE ARE MY FEW QUERIES-
1. Which light is best- Halogen/Hid/Led/Something else?
2. What is the maximum watt, that my battery can easily handle?
3. What is its name/model?
4. What does it cost?
5. From where can i buy it?
6. To install it, do I need to use hot gun or it shall be fixed by opening the front part of the bike?( Basically I am worried after reading a thread that says that installing light will need a hot gun. May be my worry is baseless.)
7. Please tell me that is it illegal to use such lights?
NOTE- If something more is to be added, please add in the information.

Thanks in advance.
