Finally, go ahead and mount the light on your ride.  You can paint the copper to match if you like or just let the copper age.  Do some road testing to see if the lights are aimed to your satisfaction, you want to be able to see far enough up the road without putting too much light in the eyes of oncoming drivers.  The elliptical lenses used in these lights has a narrow throw vertically but wide horizontally.  If the lights need to be adjusted you can carefully bend the threaded rod (difficult) or shim with washers or similar (easier).
