Title: FS Hella Optilux Angel Eyes dual headlights.
Post by: drowningbird808 on July 22, 2009, 12:43:05 PM
I was planning on doing a dual head light conversion but lost interest. I bought the lights brand new off ebay about a year ago. I only touched them to paint the brackets black. everything is still in box. I paid 60 USD.
Name a reasonable price and its yours

  :police: Not trying to sqash your sale. Just want to keep GSTwinners safe and in the know..  :police:

Those are not headlights... They are driving lights for a car. They do not have high/low beam and are not approved for use as a headlight.

Other than that... they look cool  :icon_mrgreen: And I imagine they are kinda safe  :dunno_white: . May not pass some state inspections?  :thumb:

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think those are D.O.T. approved.  If they're not, you won't pass inspection if the guys notice them.

Did they come with the bracket when you bought them?

For anyone considering these, I installed the same ones on my gs500 when I still rode it daily. They are driving lights, I had to wire mine so one on was low and both on was high, with one adjusted slightly higher than the other for the high beam. They are easy to wire if you understand electronics and have a DMM. If you want one for low and both for high, you'll need to install a diode. The bracket is pretty much the perfect size, I had to bend mine slightly, but it worked great. Since you're removing the stock headlight housing, you have to find a place to hide all the wires, I took mine, taped em together, and stuck em in a little black project box from radio shack, cost me like $3 and is a nondescript black box that I tucked behind/beneath the lights for a clean(ish) look.
