Default Dual headlight to single headlight needs?

So I am thinking about making the change from a dual headlight to a single on mt fat bob in order to get some better quality lighting. Like a daylighter or something. What do I need to get in order to do the change over? How difficult is this? I cant imagine it would be that hard once I get all the supplies.

Thanks

there are a couple more options in the 7" than the 5 3/4.
