Ok a member messaged me with some questions and I would prefer to answer them in the forum for others to see as well. The questions were does the setup I got come in a kit specific to my bike? Do I still need to mod the headlight assembly or just plug and play? Something along the lines of is it worth it and is there instructions....So answers...
No the set is not bike specific, I just went into ddm, asked for the brightest led headlight they offered and the smallest projector it would fit in. I ended up with a 50 watts per lamp led set and 2 inch hi/low projectors, retention rings etc for a tad under 200. I know that is a touch expensive especially if you just buy some cheap stuff off Amazon but these things put out some serious light and the projector is designed for the two chip style of led. They rigged up the setup on the bench right there in front of me and it was nothing short of amazing. They also did it side by side to a 55 watt hid in a 2.5 inch projector to show me how much brighter and cleaner the light output was with my chosen setup. If someone wanted these and for some reason was unable to figure out how to order directly from ddm, I could get them and ship them but I'm not sure why when it would be cheaper directly. I'm not covering shipping costs. Yes the headlight will need to be removed and placed in the oven at the lowest setting, I find it best to leave the oven door cracked open about an inch or two while doing this to prevent overheating, also, after about 5 min, peek in every min till 7 min. Wear thick leather gloves, place on an cookie sheet to avoid baking grooves into the assembly etc. butter knifes or large flat head screwdrivers work well. a heat gun on the lowest heat setting and high air flow are a must as well as working quickly. Pull the assembly out of the over at 7 min, attempt to separate the two half's, if it starts to separate keep working without over forcing it. when it stops wanting to do so, place back in the oven for another 2 to 3 min. remove and try again. Unless you don't pay close attention or use too much force or heat everything will go well. When the two halves are separated, one last 3 min oven cycle helps to aid in removal of the remaining sealant, it needs to be done or getting it all back together properly is extremely difficult and you risk a leak if it gets wet. I will do this in next day or two but it's pretty hot and I don't want to run my oven when so hot outside. It is 100% worth the effort to do the projector mod, if running anything other than halogen lamps, the light throw will not be correct and can blind drivers or reduce view distance or other negative outcome. Projectors are a must for hid and led upgrades. Hid suck cause of the start up current. the ballast etc. also, a heat gun and shaving cream can (the skinny type) work great if you take your time, to stretch the dust caps of the headlight to allow the led ballast and fan portion to fit. no cutting needed
