I was bored one day and decided to make this. Got this idea from a car's headlight.



Materials:
hand tools, electrical tape, oven, metal wires (I used the metal wire that is in the twisties that u get from Cub Food to twist around plastic bags for produce), switch (if you like the light to turn on and off), and other materials are included in step 4 when making the angel eyes.
How to:
STEP 1: Take out the headlights.
Unscrew all the screws and bolts that is attached from the headlight to the fairing. Unplug all wires that is connected. Make sure you also talk out the bulbs as well.

STEP 2: Place the headlight into the oven heated up to 300 degree. I let the headlight sit in there for about 5-10 mins after the oven has be preheated for the rubber to melt. Frequently check the headlight so that it does not get too hot or else it will crack.

STEP 3: Once the rubber has melted down. Take out the headlights and use a flat headed screw driver to pry the headlight cover from the headlight. Once the cover is off align the angel eyes to the position you want it to be.

STEP 4: Making the angel eyes.
I made the angels eyes using the steps on the link i have copied and paste on here. http://www.geocities.com/jvxdriver/eagle_eyes.htm

STEP 5: To hold the angel eyes in place i used a very small drill bit, drill 3-4 holes on opposite ends (just right underneath the angel eyes). I used small, metal, bendable wires to wrap the angel eyes through the hole and twist the ends together so it will hold. The wire was from those twisties that you use at Cub Foods to twist the grocery plastic bags to hold produce in.

STEP 6: Reheat the headlights so that the rubber would melt again and press the cover back onto the headlights. The wire from the angel eyes was sandwhiched between the headlight and the cover from the back.

STEP 7: Reinstall the headlight back into the fairing and then back onto the bike.

STEP 8: To install the wires, attached the positive end of the light to any positive battery source and the negative to the ground. I didn't want the angel eyes to be on all the time so i bought a switch and attached it to the negative ends so that it will turn on and off whenever i feel like it.

 

these are quite awsome

 

very nice

 

Niiice, Ill try it soon!!

 

hey do you use the same switch that the bikes come with? or you install a different one?

 

Awesome DIY! Wish the bulbs were a little whiter though.

 

that's why they call it "The Owl"

nice work

 

I used a different switch.

 

Those look a little blue, will the cops give you trouble?

 

I haven't been pulled over for it yet.

 

I don't really care for "angle eyes" but they do light up the housing nice on your bike and craftsmanship is excellent for diy

 

Looks Awesome!

 

Looks good. I wish I produced as good a product when I am bored.

 

Nice

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME, I already started on my own pair...for a single headlight motorcycle....SHOW US MORE PICS! HOW DOES IT LOOK WITH THE LIGHTS ON AS WELL

 

Ill try to get more pics of it tomorrow.

How is the light output on that? my buddy has halo's on his civic and I can better illuminate the road with a mag-lite compared to those pos's

you're probably talking about aftermarket headlights with halos and projectors(most likely h3 bulbs) these almost always have poor light output

Those are still the stock headlights on the bike, and the homemade halos are inside the housings. the light output will probably be affected a little, but i'd assume it's nowhere near enough to be worried about

 

The light output is just fine. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by gsr-2nr &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">How is the light output on that? my buddy has halo's on his civic and I can better illuminate the road with a mag-lite compared to those pos's</TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by gsr-2nr &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">How is the light output on that? my buddy has halo's on his civic and I can better illuminate the road with a mag-lite compared to those pos's</TD></TR></TABLE>
