Default LED lights in headlamp

Has anyone tried putting led lights inside the headlight? Audi style.
I wonder if it would look good considering the headlamp has threads.

any thoughtS?

It would look good if you sanded down the headlight to make it clear.

Goodluck with that. That would be a pain in the a** with the glass lens.

Is actual glass? If it is plastic it wouldn't be that bad.

I dont want to sound too ignorant,

BUT, lol

- Would it be 2000 sand paper?
- would I have to remove the class and sand inside?

thanx again

I really think it would change completely the look of the bike.
