2) Do you have any suggestion for a helmet mount? I am thinking on attaching the spare Minoura clamp that I bought to a piece of plastic and then Velcro that to the helmet.
I'm not familiar with the light units you used but if they are designed to be mounted on the outside of a car I wouldn't cover the vents. A 35 Watt bulb puts out a lot of heat.
If you can, cut slots in the plastic and use velcro straps to fasten it through the vents in the helmet. Just gluing velcro to the plastic and to the helmet may not be secure enough.
