Default BMW or AUDI headlights

has anybody concidered putting a pair of sweet euro looking headlights on their bike? Ive got a 93 with the twin round lights. a BMW 7 series has a sweet lookin pair, and so does Audi. I know price will hurt, but ive got this idea and am lookin for a fresh headlight look. the replacment honda lights are pretty pricey. ive done some junkyard hoppin and am starting to get some slick ideas. Fead-back?

Exact same idea here, was considering the angled light off a '03(?) Altima. Only thing is have to figure out the size of the headlight, it you need one or two and the engle of the lense compared to the curve of the fairing on the bike.

since mine are round , im hoping to make a new headlite bracket to hold em, it seems a fairly strait forward swap on my bike. either way , im not scared of tryin , my bike has beentreated a little harsh. my bike has never been laid down but the previous owner let it go . im still in the wiping off the dumb stage, so im not messing with a cherry bike. last time i had the upper fairing off, i got the idea seeing how simple the mount is.

keep in mind the drain on the battery and stator as i think i am now having a charging problem after going from stock 45/45 Watt lights to aftermarket 65/55 Watt lights. just keep that in mind.

yeah, i was a little worried with that, but the lights that i am looking at are the "shell type" and i would concider a LED bulb for them , thus drawing less than the stock. thanks for the tip bro.
