DETAILED INSTALL GUIDE - FOLLOW AT YOUR OWN RISK:

DISASSEMBLY:
-Take headlights off of bike
-Pry headlights apart by cooking them 15 minutes at 200 degrees (take bulbs/caps off) and pulling apart at base where the polyurethane is.

LOW BEAM:
-Place 1st CCFL ring onto projector with the wires running to the back of the headlight

-Place a tear-drop worth of quick drying sealant - "QUICK GRIP" available at any Wal-Mart - at the 3 corners of the rings.

-Slide wiring through outermost bottom gap between the reflector and housing (the biggest gap in the corner) Install connectors after the wires have slipped through

-Start pulling the wiring around the outside of the reflector so that the wiring will be at the top of the reflector (it will fit snug)

-Pull the wiring to be snug, but do not overpull, the rings are fragile.

-The ring should be sitting tightly and not move

RE-ASSEMBLY:
-Put cover back onto headlight and press together gently.
-Put each headlight back into over for 5 minutes at 200 degrees
-When hot, press together both parts of the headlight till the clips are in place - it helps to use a pair of clamps at the appropriate places

FAQ:

Q: Are the angel eyes a perfect fit on the high beam?
A: Due to the nature of the design, they must fit flush with the backing, in order to maintain a full geometric circle, there is a small 1mm gap on the high beam reflector side. This is not visible from 2' away.

Q: Can they be operated as soon as I turn on my bike?
A: Yes, if you request an option wiring harness, you can wire your angel eyes to work as soon as your ignition starts.

Q: I have DRL enabled will this cause a problem?
A: YES. You must go and disable your DRL prior to install. Alternatively, you can just disconnect your high beam bulb if you have not yet disabled your DRL with the dealer and do so at a later date.

Q: Does the disabling of the DRL affect my high beam function?
A: NO, your high beam is a secondary logical switch that is unrelated to the switching of your DRL. You will not lose your functionality at all for the high beam.

Q: If I bake the headlights at 200 degrees on a cookie sheet will I ruin the lights or melt anything else?
A: NO, the plastics/plexi outer cover/reflectors/bulbs all have a much higher melting point than 200 Degrees. The glue that holds the headlight together softens at 150 degrees and does not evaporate. You can reseal your headlights with no loss of sealant and you don't have to add any glue. Just put the lights back into the oven, and let the glue get soft again for closing the install.

Q: Can I ruin my headlights in the oven?
A: MAYBE, only if you choose not to use a cookie sheet, set the oven to broil, bake at over 200 degrees, AND leave it in there for 45 minutes or more.

Q: What are these rings made out of?
A: These rings are made with a new technology called Cold Cathode. It is the brightest angel eyes technology on the market, at least 5X brighter than the brightest LED.

Q: What HID/Xenon will match this?
A: If you have standard HID/Xenon, your bulbs are 4300K, they are more yellow than the 6000K. If matching is required, call us for recommendations of bulbs.

Q: Can I use a heat gun?
A: NO, under no circumstances should you use a heat gun to open the headlights.
