    I need help with figuring out the best way to mount my halos to the outside of my orbit shrouds. I don't like the wire idea and I've heard glue isn't best so anyone can help me out? I've been thinking about not putting them on since idk the best way, but I want them on. Plus how do you wire them up to the parking lights?

    I couldn't wait for the group buy to get enough people. I just had to work on my bike :D

    I got started and went to town!

    Junk stock projectors, bought a new aftermarket light assembly for $46!
    1_zps84ba5cf0_e5d351afa4f5facb875d7ff0245997ca46322316.jpg

    Weird double projectors, each has a fake one that branches off
    2_zps8ab95ce0_2577aaf136c3e12a4f8da0eb43742356504be4cf.jpg

    Made use of the original ball socket and adjusters, laster switched to a 3/8 cutting board because the plexiglass was too weak

    8_zpsf2025e17_c86c329ce4bfdb22f6a049a691f8a90da9fd4c6f.jpg

    Drilled a hole where it won't be seen and I can run the wires up and under the windscreen where there is a compartment.

    9_zps66b46ccb_3afd962a8c32833f38340243aa497af2240390da.jpg

    This is where the ballasts will sit under the wind screen

    And now for the best part...


    Clean!

    those eyes...

    put the lens on to snap a picture, going to paint the outside of the FXRs black so you can't see them as easily as the silver. Or might make a custom shroud not sure yet...

    Sounds good. Just trying to send people your way.

    You wouldn't happen to know how much is involved in a Honda CB500X headlight install would you? I'm hoping its just bake and put it in.

    Nearly every Honda regardless of type is butyl so it can be baked right open. The 500X is the one I was looking at for myself and it was a very easy plain light--perfect for a retrofit.

    It's getting up there. Probably in the 20 range now.

    If you go find that shroud on their website it should give a recommendation

    Just a thought. When installing the angel eyes, is it fine to bake them when putting the housing back together?? I mean it's the only way. But I guess it should be fine the heats not actually on
