front headlight
I have '04 lowrider and want to put a longer billet headlight \\; on it. But I have not found anyone that makes one that will have the bolt mounted on the bottom \\; instead of top. mine goes through the top for the headlight cover. Don't really want to get rid of cover because of the warning lights. Anyone have any ideas? \\;

RE: front headlight
Hey now,
I had the stock eyebrow headlight and transformed it to a billet lamp assembly. \\;\\\\\\; Using the existing modified light assembly I got the attached results. \\;\\\\\\; \\;\\\\\\;
 \\;\\\\\\;
What I did was remove the indicator light assembly, then the eyebrow/light assembly. \\;\\\\\\; I then used a small band saw to cut off the brow along the molding lines on the back of it. \\;\\\\\\; I then took a half round file to make the curves for the risers. \\;\\\\\\; Did a little finish filing, polishing, and reinstalled the bracket backwards with the same hardware. \\;\\\\\\; I then reinstalled the indicator light assm. (in reverse of course) \\;\\\\\\;  \\;\\\\\\;
I then installed the new billet light assembly I ordered from the HD catalog. \\;\\\\\\; This required drilling a 3/8" hole in the lower triple tree. \\;\\\\\\; I used a front motor mount bolt thru to the lamp mounting bracket. \\;\\\\\\; I spliced the wires and hid the connections under the gauge cluster. \\;\\\\\\; \\;\\\\\\;
 \\;\\\\\\;
Thats it, \\;\\\\\\;good luck contact me for questions of more photos. \\;\\\\\\; \\;\\\\\\;
 \\;\\\\\\;
Peace,
