What would be the easiest voltage connection point to run the wiring and the on/off switch for headlights ? And seeing as the truck is 24 volts, would the headlights typically be 24 volts or would I use 12 volt bulbs and a voltage reducer ?

And what would be a good aftermarket source of forklift headlights.. ideally with the metal guarding like in below example) ?
