Here are the lights I currently have mounted in the i2/x2 :

The headlight is mounted on the front accessory bar, and the 2 tail lights are mounted on each cargo/lift bar. I didn't want the extra complications of separate external battery packs, so each of these lights runs off of internal rechargeable AA or AAA batteries.

And, just for fun, I bought one of these for the leansteer pivot hub:

I just removed the leansteer hub emblem, and the Dot-it magnetically sticks to the pivot inside. When I'm not using the light, it stays inside the hub and the emblem fits back in place over it. I clock the emblem 1 tang clockwise so the nubs don't engage with their holes and just press it back into the hub. The emblem is still very secure and flush in the hub, but is easy to remove the next time. The standard Dot-it isn't as bright as a real headlight, and doesn't direct the light as usefully as the upper headlight, but it makes a fun accent / accessory light. The swivel version, which can be aimed, might be more useful :
