Vrod headlight and new breakout are pretty much the same oval headlight profile, there is a mounting hole on each side (for the vrod headlight mount) I just threw some black plugs in the holes from Home Depot...if you look close you can see them on the side, but barely noticeable
So I am hopefully getting this in this weekend> Where in home depot did you find the little black plugs. I wander around that store a lot, but I wouldn't even know where to look for them?

Maybe the drip tubing plugs from Home Depot would work?

Sorry I missed this question above...Home Depot had little black plastic plugs in the bulk section (in all the little drawers...I assume your Home depot down there has the same set up?)
I just grabbed a couple of these little black plugs, a dab of clear silicone to hold them in place and you're done. The holes are pretty tiny, I'm sure you can get creative and find something that will work!

So the post on the cowl dont quit fit all the way in the recesses of the headlight bracket. Did your drill the holes bigger, or just ran it how it came?
