My road bike has clip ons.

There isn't enough room on the handlebars really to fit the light on which I'd normally do if I didn't have the clip-ons.

Do I attach them sideways to the aero bars?

Pictures would be very helpful !!

My clip-on aerobars are connected and round at the end, so that's where I put my light. If yours are separate, that obviously won't work. I do have a mounting bracket for my speedometer so that it can go between the bars. You might be able to use the same thing for your lght. It was about $12 at my LBS. I can try to take a picture tomorrow.

I've got a tiny planet bike spock light I strap sideways on my head tube. It comes with a velcro strap. It barely fits on there, but it works.

I have a roadbike with clip-on aerobars and I mount my front light upside down on the handlebar, just outside of the left aerobar.  I actually put it over the handlebar wrap.

Upside down on handle bars, works just fine.

Try to keep it away from your bike comuter. I have a dual wireless Sigma and when I mounted the light near the receiving unit, the light interfered with the signal reception.

I've got the new Bontrager aerodrink system, it came with a plastic ring to mount a computer to, but I just throw my light on there. I can just take the whole ring off to race...easy and simple.

I bought two of these:Planet Bike 3044 Blaze 1-Watt LED HeadlightThey just fit on the inside of my aero bars...which you can see in my Timberman pics...with no lights on but the space is there. Edit: it isn't the POS light in the picture. That was an older one.

profile design makes a little bar to extend from your aerobar which is made for a computer, but you could get one of those

I have mine on where the stem goes down into the headtube - the thick part of the headtube.  I had to use some of those rubber shim things under it to get it to work. My bike store gave them to me for free. You might have some left from a mounting kit for a bike computer sensor or something.

I have a cheapo light and it wouldn't fit anywhere on my bike so I put a zip tie through one of the air-vents on the front of my helmet to make a loop and attached it to that.
