Wow, those LED turn signals in your headlight look amazing. Can't wait to see it mounted on the bike.

waiho

I bought the H4(D2S) because it has the same connector as the stock harness! regarding the headlight you want!
the seller does not say what kind of buld it uses, are you sure that is street legal and will be bright enought, it's only 25w!
dunno if that thing will be big enought too, to fit the projector!

it looks nice, but I see lots of modding and making a custom bracket to have it hold on the bike!

I'm really interested in doing this. I don't have all the skill, but I do enjoy trying and working on the bike. I changed the headlight to something a little more streetfighter'ish. I have GS500 E with this headlight, but now I'm looking at replacing the light.

For the HID light I was looking at buying this one, but don't know enough about HID's so I was hoping on getting peoples thoughts. What bulb size do I need? H1, H7, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, H4(D2S)? Why is it not standard to the projector?

Any helps, any words of wisdom is always appreciated.
Thanks

I already bought and installed the headlight. It was a pain to install and I had to fabricate the brackets out of sheet metal. It was a frustrating day but looks really cool now. The headlight is pretty bright, but I thought the HID would make it a lot brighter and better.
I'm going today to make some measurements, but I think it will fit, there is a lot of room.
Thanks. Good to hear the H4(D2S) will go with the stock harness.
Cheers

Wow, that headlight looks amazing! If I ever get ahold of an extra headlamp housing I'm definitely making the same attempt. I've recently fell in love with LEDs and Im trying to find good replacements for my blinkers, front and back that match.

Major props on the headlight build. Can't wait to hear how it works installed.

Looks great. I've been planning on doing a projector retrofit on my bike since before I bought it (I did a custom retrofit on my last car).

doesn't look like you have much clearance, what brand of projector did you use? I'm leaning towards the Morimoto Mini (D2S).

Wow, I didn't see this thread before.  The HID looks awesome; the built in blinkers even more so.  Wish I would have read this post before buying the Aztec8 kit.  Meh.
Good day to you!

waiho

as promised, so pics

Wow, this is an awesome mod. looks fantastic.
the LED work really puts the cherry on top.
I've have also thought it would be great put turn signals under there, glad you figured it out first.

this should get pinned or posted to wiki page under upgrades!

btw, what is that screen above your vapor gauge?
and what is that on your helmet? it looks like some sort of custom helmet cover.
