why do you believe the entire housing needs to be fitted?

as for wiring, i figure at the very least, i can get the low/high beam hooked up to the switch on the handle bars before i go futzing with how i want to set it up. The low beam could handle the low light and the angel eyes.

i also thought that putting in a kill switch for the low beam so that just the angel eyes would run.

this is all in theory though.

Because that headlight looks like it will only fit that headlight bucket. The GS bucket looks rather different. But look at it and you should know.
The wiring - yea you figure that one when it gets here, you should be fine.
Cool.

anoopb, just wondering if you got the headlight in.

I ended up buying one of those trucklite headlights, but the stock headlamp assembly appears to be fairly custom. Like buddha mentioned, it looks like it'll be a custom job to get it in. I'm hoping someone else has done it before, but after doing some searching, I haven't found anything like it.

Luckily, the trucklite headlamp is smaller than the stock one, so I might be able to find a donor stock assembly, cut out the mounting bracket, and with the use of a trim ring, get it mounted in. I took some pictures of the new light while I held it by hand it it seems like it'll throw the light well, and had a very nice cutoff.
