DIY double LED projector headlight

In reply to the topic http://www.trx850.com/phpBB_forum/viewt ... 34&t=10740 from Frunkehbohnze, I thought it would be nice to post some picture of the progress I made.
I could not get my hands on a FZR400RR-SP headlight and besides that, I heard that the bulbs are 'weird', so I decided to make my own.
This is the TRX original:
This is how it was on my bike, a FZR600 headlight with xenon and a little parking light above it:
The parts I used:
A FZR600 plastic base with height adjusters, a clear glass from a MUZ Skorpion headlight (actually bought two, because I broke one
), LED and projectors from Ebay.
I needed a base plate to bolt everything onto, so that was home-made with a plasma cutter.
Put together (a few little pieces of tape to hold the rings in place, these will be gone of course when fitted properly):
and on the bike:
LED rings 'angel eyes' on:
Both low beam + ring on:
It's hard to get the bright light on photos but you get the idea.
The light from the two LEDs (only 20W each) is quite good, better than I expected.
About the same amount of light compared to the xenon bulb (just one) I had.
The cut-off was also very clear, I understood that this could be troublesome as the LEDs don't shine fully 360 degrees around, but all is good!
Both lenses have a little piece of metal that is switched away to achieve high beam. Not tried on the bike yet.
Next thing is to set the wiring up properly and find a place for several LED controllers.
I'm also using a couple of relais, to shut one ring light off if the indicators are on, on that side of the bike. (Like Audi's have with their DRL, although I hate those cars
).
And yes, I know, after all that is finished I REALLY need to was my bike!

That's pretty much the look I had in mind. Too bad the clear glass seems a bit hard to come by
as I need another one... It comes straight from China, most of it is allright but I have a bulb of which one half turns off after a while.
