Default looking for opinions

In the quest to have betting night visibility. I am planning on swapping in a set of headlights from a 03-05 R6. they are duel projectors on each side. Its the same as my bike, left side low beam, right side high beam, but the lights are considerably brighter than mine with the same 55 watt bulb. I have the R6 lights, Im just waiting on a donor 1000rr headlight to come available. I don't want to cut up my original.

here is a pic I quicky photoshopped of what it should look like. I'm looking for your opinions on the looks.

I think it looks awesome. I would pay good money for a professional aftermarket mod like that. I think it would be even better if they both lit up and were HID bulbsthough. Anyway if it works out to look like that its a nice improvement. If you don't mind, try to write up a how-to, I might be interested in doing that as well if it works out.

thanks for the positive feedback,

I will post a step by step as soon as I find the extra 1000RR headlight. It looks like they should fit ok. Anyone got one laying around?

I'm really suprised as to how much brighter the projectors are even though its the same H7 bulb. should make night driving a bit better. If everything goes to plan, I will probably install Hid lights. At least with the projector, the beam should be the same no matter where the element is.

Looks awesome man!

Yeah go for the HID, hope it doesn't mess up the wiring system though.
