    you can hook up lights to the fog switch- they all have them, but it has to be activated by the dealer.  Clearwater has a light set for the MTS now also.

    I'm not sure but I think the connector is inside the throttle body and then is activated by dealer (a green dash 'fog' light icon turns on when in use), inside the dash or the box under the seat.  You may be able to find it on the wiring diagram inside your owners manual.  I did not do this myself.  Since the dealer has to activate it, I just had the ducati LED lights but on and installed during the 600 mi service.  For clearwater, I think they have a canbus and outside switch mounted so you don't have to go to the dealer (I know its not inboard and then whats the purpose). 
    I like the Ducati lights and think they do a very good job lighting the road up like my Bmw 3 series LED headlights.  You may ask your dealer about using your own lights and see if they will mount them during the service.  I removed all the panels for my service to save on labor time allocated to that, and have them apply it to the actual install of the lights.

    I just looked at them on the Denali website.  They have some pics of them mounted on a GS you could compare the D2 and D7, both round.

    Denali Fog Lights

    Question to you all:

    For Mounting Denali D3 Led Fog Lights on my bike:

    I dont have Crash Bars. So how should these be mounted on the bike?

    Should they be mounted on the Fork? If so then the lights move with the steering. I'm not sure that's optimum. Considering the headlights point forward.

    Is there an alternative method for mounting the lights that is not the on the fork and not on Crash Bars?

    you will not like this response.

    Givi offer light mountings for a number of bikes, as an alternative to crash bar mounting, for instance Yamaha Tracers and BMW850s. I have used their designs as templates for DIY solutions.

    They do not seem to offer Light Mounting "Bar" for Multistrada 950 suggedting there are not convenient/robust mounting points available.
     Crash bars might be your only solution.
