I tried, then I found all of the wiring harness bricks in the headlight housing...I will need to pull them, repin stuff and conceal them somehow to fit an aftermarket led.

Once you completely destroy the headlight bucket, you can pull the harness off the front end and relocate. Basically without re-pinning anything I made it all fit under my tank lift.



Headlight is the stock unit from my Wide Glide, only wires to it are for the headlight. The only way i could get the wires out of the bucket was to attack it with serious implements of destruction, not much of the bucket left after. But I never liked the top mount headlight with the "visor" so I was happy when done. But it was a PITA.

It's for that reason I'm doing away with the entire assembly and going with a modular LED bullet style on mine lmao
