I installed an 55 watt dual (H/L) HID from DDM Tuning in a 7" bullet headlight a few months ago, but decided it was to big and just didn't quite look right, so I bought a 6" bullet headlight and jammed it all(ballast, wires, plugs, relay, H/L controller) in there. It took a few tries but it fit. The headlight is similar to this one but matte black: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Bullet...e8632e&vxp=mtr

Sorry to take so long to reswpond but I just saw the questions. The light output is great but the cheap bulb that came with the headlamp bucket is plastic and started to melt and sag, lol. I took it out and used the stock SB bulb and it is a little shallower, which made it alot easier to get it all in there. The black reflector in the stock bulb does block some of the light, but I think I saw a post that JRK5892 removed the reflector. That's how I found this thread again, I was looking for that thread.

I think because of the heat the reflector in the back looks a little hazy now. I ended up having to put my stick bulb back in. Not sure if the HID caused it or not, but my whole bike quit working. Harley replaced the entire electric system to make it work again. I think because it's the new can bus system that my bike didn't like the hid light haha. But I'm not 100% sure. I sure miss the hid though, was a lot brighter!!!
