These guys have cheap bike stuff.

I personally want more light than that. I, myself am in a debate between a lensed "fog-light" (50W) with a wide beam, a light that uses MR-16 bulbs (good for multiple wattages and beam spreads), or that thing that Grasshopper showed us. I'm wanting enough light to go way fast on a dark, rainy night. LED's will adorn my bike in a way similar to a car or a motorcycle, making visibility easy. Once I decide my forward light, the rest of my system will be easy to complete.

Note: some states, such as Alabama requires that you have both a forward light and a tail light for night riding.

Man, this Deal Extreme looks SWEET!
