@cannondale27 did this to his Viper. Maybe he will chime in and drop some info.
I think the charge tubes are in way on a Windèr for how I mounted them. Since I got the Headlight adjuster and HID’s from Rockmiester I have not needed them and took them off. Not sure if the adjuster works on a Sidewinder but that really made all the difference. Can tweak in the aim right while riding.@cannondale27 did this to his Viper.

X2 on Rock's headlight adjuster as I have it on both of my Apex's which also has his HIDs. I thought how do you make HIDs better and like Cannondale27 stated, being able to adjust on the fly makes a world of difference.

I mounted my lights to the metal frame that holds the intercooler in place. Had to trim the plastic for my mounts to bolt up.
Bought the lights from Tractor supply store.
These are spot lights, not flood lights. They out shine the factory headlight big time.
I made my own mounting brackets out of a chunk of aluminum.

Used these lights for one season and so far no issues.
Also pic of mounting bracket.

Unfortunately getting old ( like me ) or if you have bad vision, definitely something to look into . The thin led light skidoo, would be ideal some where by the inter cooler.
