There are two options for providing power to the lights a "bottle" generator on a bracket or a hub generator built into a wheel. One you have that power source any modern production lights are wired to the generator with ease. A wheel build with a generator is going to run over $100, where a bottle generator will run $15-$50 plus $7-$20 for a bracket, plus the cost of lights (~$25-$30 for the rear, front ~$50-$120 depending on which model you go with in terms of brightness). Adding the lighting and your choice of generator isn't any more difficult than bolting on any other accessories.
