I took this with the lights out in the room and darkened the pic some but its still bright. I will tke some more after I have both done and on the bike but this is the white ones. Its not that hard to do you just have to be very slow and careful not to get any thing on the reflector and projector.

Did you go with 2 different size mm's? And what sizes?
 
They are both 80mm and because running blue lights is illegal they are switched in so I can turn them off in the event of some unwanted attention.
Where did you mount your switch?

I have one side done allready just waiting on 2 replacement ccfls (broke one) to come in to do the other side. I have the switch wired in but note sure where to mount it definately will have to drill a whole somewhere but swicth looks oem so no problem.

Ok take the left over transistor covers, (the pieces of black plastic), and break it in half. Using a dremel clean up the broken edge so that its smooth and not jagged. Now drill a hole in the plastic so you can fit your switch in it on the broken side. Then drill a hole in the plastic on the square side so that a screw can go through it. Mount the hole thing to the screws that are below and on either side of the instrument panel. It looks perfect.
 
My transistor covers are baby blue :secret: I have been thinking to bend the leads on the other side of the switch and try to fit the switch on the little plastic plate that bolts over the intake tube may be a tight fit though. I would love to see pics if you can get them of your set up before I bust out the drill.... thanks for your input!
 
I thought about over the intake tube myself but there wasn't enough room so I have my switch out of site atm. I just leave it on since its wired into the running lights and turns off when the ignition is off. I may make some sort of bracket to mount the switch to later but I havn't decided yet.

Get some krylon fusion spray paint. It's designed for plastic. Paint them baby blues black and problem solved.
 
Here's what they look like on my buddy's bike.:thumbup

nicely done! so he has swiches for each side. I see what you mean now i will fool around with it tonight.:drunk:


I will try to get some pics up too.
His transistors aren't in the black plastic. Dunno why he didn't mount them in the plastic. My setup is the same accept mine are mounted in the plastic above the headlights. I've just gotta find some spare parts to mount my switches with, cuz he used my spares for his.

White looks killer! man if they were easily accessible they would be on mine too. I woulnt have to worry about po po's


I wired mine to a constant power source so I can turn them on when the bike is off. Not sure I will keep it this way though we'll see how many times I forget to turn it off before i run them to running light wires which are now not being used.
