Well I have decided that custom headlights is the winter project on my new cbr for this year. I tend to do a fair amount of nighttime driving so headlights are a great way to not only increase visibility but also make the bike look kicka$$. Lets start by whoring the bike a little since I finally got some day time pics. She is dirty but I just took her for one last ride before tearing her down for a few days.
On a side note, anyone know which undertail that is? Came on the bike.
Now that I got that out of the way lets have a look at what I plan on doing. Im planning to gut the headlight and install HID projectors on custom mounts. They will have angel eyes, demon eyes, and audi style lights.
Lets start with the projectors. White cfl angel eyes and red demon eyes
For the HID I will be ordering a set from DDMtuning. I have had theirs in my car for 4 years now and have never had a single missfire.
For the audi style lights I ordered some side emitting leds from ebay. They are super flexible and very bright. The plan is to install these between the headlight and fairing to ensure they stay in place. Id hate to have to take everything apart if the tape was to ever let go. The fairing and headlight will sort of wedge the lights in place.
This is where I will put them between the headlights and fairings.
I taped them in place with electrical tape to get a feel for how they will look. Notice I am putting them on top of the headlights like eye brows instead of at the bottom like most people do. I think in combination with the projectors/demon eyes it will look awesome. Give the bike a sort of angry look. Ill let the pictures speak for themselves.
Thats it for now. I am still waiting on the projectors in the mail but they should be here this week. Ill update with lots of pics as I go. Maybe Ill even do a complete how to.
OK I received one projector. Hooked it up and not too impressed with the demon eyes. Only about 1/4 of the ring was lit up properly. I took it apart to see what I could do to fix it and after a little bit of adjustments was able to make it look better. The original plan was to flip the white ccfl so that the connection is at the top but after seeing how it is glued in im not going to bother. I dont want to break the ccfl ring while doing it.
Now to get a second projector
