I should of taken some pics or a video while i was doing it but..
Heres kinda what i did. If your mechanically inclined it all kinda comes together while your doing it; but what I learned along the way might trigger better ideas for you guys.
1. Removed fairings and remove headlight lense.
2. Took a skiny flat-head screw driver with the tip slightly bent to get into the back + blow dryer to edges of lens and plastic to remove black sealant from factory.
(took a while but the more you work at it the more it comes free. One last pull and it popped off.) *theres two clips on either side that gotta be popped out*
(try not to damage plastic on bottom because its exposed but top is hidden) If damaged just melt the plastic back to original form)
3. Once the lense was poped off i took a small circle wire brush on a low speed drill to remove the black sealant completely than blew compressed air to clean it for a better seal when i re-seal it.
4. Took LED strip lighting in a roll i bought off ebay a year back (warm white was the color i picked) Bright white wouldnt be bad either. You can cut & solder on your wires every 3 LED's.
5. Cut two peices off the roll each 12 LED's. Sautered on wires to positive and negative.
Than put clear silicone over the soldered area to seal it. Than wrapped it in electrical tape.
Also I cut the original plugs off the mirrors and wired to my new LED's to have factory signal plugs if i have to remove headlight in the future.
*since the lights are within the headlight they will be weather proof Although the strip lighting i used is outdoor with a silicone clear gel over the LED's.*
6. Than placed the LED lighting in the headlight lens where the black slot is located.
*not all 12 LED's fit into exposed slot i just folded 3 back*
Reason for 12 LED's is to match the resistive load of original signals.*
Placed silicone around the edges of the strip lighting to seal it into it. (pretty much glueing it in place, I was going to use a clear glue but didnt want it to run down onto the clear lens)
7. Than i took a flat head screwdriver heated it up and touched the edge to place wires and melted a small slit into the edge of where lense meets headlight. So that i can run the wires through. 1 slit on each side at the top of the both parts to match where wires will go through.
You can drill a hole in the black plastic to feed through than silicone it after i just figured this was a good too.
8. Than i put clear silicone sealant within the groove where lens seals to headlight and lined wires up to slit than compressed it while silicone dryed. Once that dryed i applied another thin layer for silicone to confirm its sealant.
*anything you do on the top of the headlight will be hidden (where i put wires) but quality on the bottom is exposed (by air ducts). So i ran tape along the lens at the bottom before i applied silicone to aquire a perfect line of clear silicone.*
