The clearwater lights are probably 10-15% brighter and better than models you can pick up from LEDRider or ADVMonster. But if you are running thru deer country at 3 am at rally-nominal speeds you want every frickin lumen you can get blasting downrange. And Clearwater does that. Is it worth double the price to you?You might check on the ADVMonster website. They sell lights as well, and wiring harnesses with relays, etc.
Personally, I'd recommend not buying the Clearwater lights. Mine have the paint flaking off. Clearwater won't do anything for me, because I bought the bike second hand with the lights already installed. At some point, I'll simply replace them with ADVMonster lights. They are a fraction of the cost, perform just as well, and are more durable.
I've made my own wiring harness in the past. It's pretty simple stuff and there are lots of diagrams on the Interweb.

As for paint peeling on the clearwaters, most every brand of light will cook off the outer coating if you run them long enough. The only cure is to ride your bike so much that the coating of dead bugs prevents you from seeing the imperfections.
