YBR headlight bulb
Discussion
I'm considering put one of these on as an alternative and running directly to the battery and separate switch. Would I need to fit a fuse? The power seems quite low.

Ok, as the poor headlight on the YBR seems to generate a number of threads across numerous forums I thought I'd update this for others' reference.
Despite the good advice above, I decided to keep my upgrade separate from the existing wiring on the bike.
I have used two led spot lights (cheaper ones than the ones linked above) and wired, via a switch and fuse, directly to the battery. The YBR doesn't have many places to mount additional lights, so I used extra brackets normally used to mount a primary round headlight.
