I have bought a new front light pod and a halo kit. Not sure how to proceed with set up. I have already done the running lights to indicator mod so I can use the running lights wiring to power the halo. As the two centre low beams are on permanently I was going to position the Halo's around the full beam (outer bulbs) and remove the bulbs from the low beams so all I have on are the two halo lights for maximum effect.

I only use the bike in the day and if I get caught out of an evening I can always use the main beams. Obviously I will have to stick the low beam bulbs back in when it comes to the mot.

This is the only option I can think of as if I leave in the low beam bulbs I don't think they will look as good running alongside the halo's.

Is this the way forward or has anyone got any better ideas?

Half way there! Running lights to indicator done. Halo's going around outer main beams and moving main beam connectors to inner low beam so I can run just halo's and have low beam on when I switch to high beam if that makes sense. Clear sealant used though it shows white until it has gone off.

Very nice, looks great! I want to do a projector retrofit on my CR. How hard was it to take apart the headlights?

People talked about putting them in the oven which scared me but I just left mine in the hot water closet over night and it just pulled apart relatively easy.
