Did you guys that have them in the stock housing notice a big difference? I know theyre much brighter as I run them in my cars, but with them not being made for it...is the light pattern all over the place? I'd like a brighter light, but I want the light pointed where I need it.

What size headlight is my fxdx with a 39mm front end? Smaller than yours, right?

Installed mine today, was pretty easy; I used my dremel tool to make the hole a little bigger for the extra cables. There is no way that the slim ballast will fit in the stock bucket. So I mounted mine on a perfect flat spot on the frame with the supplied double sided sticky thing haha. Heres some pics.
