$12 plus shipping, I bought the parts from www.svc.com, search for 80mm CCFL.

All I used were the 2 fans, with the CCFL tubes. There was heat shrink, from my place that I also used. But basically, there were no additional parts.

I wired the front light to the halos, cause I got a fix it ticket for the green front light, and the switch kills all the lights. I'm sure you could make your own wiring system, but this one works for me.

Clipping power wire

Wiring harness

2 CCFL tubes

Plastic off CCFL tubes. Note: I left the plastic on, when I installed it on the lights, it was a tight fit, almost like it was made to be put on like that.

Inverter, you need this, I believe it inverts the the power from D/C to A/C or something like that.

All connected together

Continued in next post.

Clear silicone sealant. Note: This stuff dries on clear, and reacts well to heat, so they won't move, or pop out with vibration, I highly suggest using some type of sealant, as the CCFL tubes could potentially move

How I wired everything up.

Thoughts and notes:

I touched the bulb upon replacing it, so now you can see fingerprints on it, but you have to be looking for it.

I tried to angle the dark spot on the halos to the bottom, toward the center of the fairing, on both sides, but it turns out you can see them pretty clearly, and it would be better if they were angled towards the top center, or even top outwards.

This took a total of about 3 hours. I wired it all, not the to electrical harness because that part is expensive to replace, wire it to the headlight wiring harness, please.

Any questions?

If you like them, I think you should do it. It's definitly worth it. They're only a, what?, 450 dollar headlight assembly? ;-)

The part that made me most afraid was the baking, but since I didn't have to do that, it was cake.

Seriously, I had cake afterwards.

if you baked them it would have been a lot easier...
200 degrees for 10 minutes and it pulls apart... same thing when you put it back together...
