What for dinner honey? Mmm headlights? Well at least that explains the smell she says



Back in the oven for 7 minutes at 130C or 265F whichever you prefer and wait for that "Ding"
Apparently no need to worry all the components will be find in the oven

After 7 minutes got some gloves and screws ready to put it back together again
Before I squeezed the housings back together I re-distributed the glue in the front housing to make a good seal again
This only took about 1 minute and then I pressed them together as close as I could to make a good seal

Seemed to fit together well so I went ahead and secured the screws back in their place again to hold it all together followed by a clamping process until it cools down completely

Now the light is back in one piece again.
I was able to test the angel light and its working fine, but I didn't test the projector or the solenoid before I sealed it which is probably something I should have done.

Something that is dawning on me is weather or not I turned the projector the right way in the housing?
I didn't think much of it until now. I know I haven't turned it sideways which is good I guess, but I am not sure if its upside down or not. It better not be or I won't be happy

And here is the finished product

Thanks Chris.
I will do my best to keep you guys informed as I go along.
CaptBob is right, I am over thinking it a bit as I with with all my mods. If you can't do it properly don't do it at all

I did write to Matt to have his view and basically its a personal preference I think
a 55w balast won't last as long as the 35w. 35w seem to be more reliable long term is the concensus.
A 35w balast with a 5000K bulb will be as bright as a 55w 4500K bulb for example
For most light you shouldn't go above 5000K really, but I opted for the 6000K as I wanted a bit of that blue tinge
I am sacrificing a bit of brightness of the look there

I will post a photo of the kit itself once it arrives.

Here is what I ordered from Retrofitsource.com

Sub-Total: $140.00
USPS Express Mail International: $53.83

So for a proper HID setup I think $200 bucks isn't bad.
My kit landed in Australia today and is waiting customs clearance as we speak
I should have it on Wednesday to start playing with it

Boy do I feel stupid now, right hand drive-left hand drive.

Thank you!

I think I'm going to tackle this mod also, this time of year it's still kinda light at midnight but towards mid September it starts getting dark again for that last month of riding. My only question is what size of angel eye are you guys installing to get the glowing ring of light?Are you just wiring the eye in to the top small bulb for illumination so it's on with the key without the engine running?
