custom head light...think these are ok?

[abs929cbrrr]

ive been racking my brain trying to find small round headlights until yesterday whil riding home i noticed a dodge dakota with round bright fog lights...then the flood gates left loose and the brain accpeted the water.

i hit ebay this morning and bingo i think this is the way to go. anyone think these from a VW beetle would be ok? its gog the dot shit on them and everything. they might look made cool in the 92 upper i got. even got mounting tabs so it should be simple to mount thesein the signal head light opening.

sorry i dont like the 91/92 light...its ugly.

those would look sweet

yeah i know...i am just worried the halo will cause legal issues. i do see they make R1 lights with halo rings so maybe its ok? i wanna know before i buy and do this since it will be riding on the street.

what kind of upper would you be fitting these too ..?
i Love halo lights !!! but you only have one beam dunno if u want the high beam or not but i tried with the foggers i didnt like the light so i put old headlights back in and put HID under 100 dollars and some rewiring cuz they arnt plug n play <like they say >. You shouldnt have a problems wit the halo rings on the sreeet..

my bad didnt see u said single headlight

92 upper...want small round lights in this opeing and then ill try filling it up. didnt even think about high and low beams...hmm gotta rethink this now.

[abs929cbrrr]

ok i figured it out...just get a street legal dirtbike front numberplate with the lights in it....$60 new and problem solved. high and low beams, just cut out the middle and plastic bond it to the upper.

should look somthing like this.

Sorry Abs, dont mean to jack your thread but does anyone know how to calculate if the load on new headlights will be too much for the fzr charging system?
I was thinking of adding two more lights in addition to the airtech fzr-r1 headlight. (the lights being very similar foglights like Abs mentioned above).

[abs929cbrrr]

no clue...we use to have a guy for that kinda stuff but like the best of then he dropped of the face of the earth about 2 years ago

i dont think the halo will be an issue, since most BMW's had them for ages and some still do

I generally consider myself to be an electrical idiot, but can't you apply Ohm's law to find the current draw? We know the voltage range that should be coming off the stator and you should be able to find the resistance across the bulb with a multimeter. With that, shouldn't it be as simple as:

Amps = Volts / Resistance

Maybe someone can confirm this, Circuit theory and I don't get along.

I like them halo ones buti want high and low beams incase i choose to get inspections....

ill go with the dirtbike stuff. street righter and stunt guys slap these headlight on all the time so ill just cut out what i need a plastex the rest in or somthing. this way i get the whole 9 yards, put il put put some super bright ass bulbs in it for a cool factor since i hate the color of the stock fzr bulbs...cant see shit at night with them.

if your going that route, why don't you just get a dual headlight fairinng?

[abs929cbrrr]

because i already have one...they look like hell with differernt tails and yzf600r tank...this bike is all custom...i dont want much stock stock! plus the dual head light design is so old it looks like hell in my option. i want stuff no one else has ever done or seen before....thats just how i am. its all or nothing.

check these bulbs out

personally in my mind these are the bext halogen bulbs on the market better then sylvania or those phillips crap they sell at autozone or pepboys
but this guy selling them used as they regularly go for like $60-$70 for the pair but if u search u can find cheaper .
