    I saw that. I like the idea of not needing a cut-out harness if using the LEDs....

    StepBill - did you get the SoCal LEDs or HIDs?

    Be very careful placing the adapters in to the headlight housings. I dropped one into the right housing, and had to take the whole front fairing off to be able to get to it.

    I suggest using a straightened out wire coat hanger or something similar as a guide, placing one end in to the headlight housing, and then slide the adapter around the wire and down to the housing. Secure the adapter in place before removing the wire coat hanger.

    This will save you from having to try and fish the adapter out from wherever it fell.

    BTW, you will love the lights. They are amazingly bright!


    I am sad to report that I became a 'drop the adapter in the left high beam housing yesterday guy' ....
    Any advise on how to fish it out?

    Somebody had a brilliant way of doing it - short of picking up the bike and shaking it vigorously - about two months ago....I don't remember because I'm not that smart.

    Hmmm, maybe time for the <cue ominous music> "Advanced Search" window....

    they laid the bike on its side, and had their spouse fish it out with their thin fingers.

    Or straighten out a wire coat hanger with a small j bend on the end to fish it out.
