Default Drag Specialties 7" Headlight

Morning guys, I just installed one of Drag Specialties 7" Headlight Buckets, P/N 2001-0556 to be exact. I also ordered a different headlight, a Harley 7 incher off of eBay. My question is if any of you guys know if I can just install the headlight and use the Drag Specialties provided retaining ring. Or do I need to have the Harley light mount and retaining ring, like in this picture?

Thanks everyone!

Just in case anyone else was wondering, the Harley stock light fit perfectly in the Drag Specialties bucket. Everything lined up perfectly, no other parts were needed.

Yep, in a darkened garage but it's all I have at the moment.

7" light is the way to go... looks so much better than the 5.75 stock ones.

Has a better pattern also and you can run higher wattage bulbs without burning up connector.
