The nacelle kit comes with a different headlight I believe in it. That is part of the reason it costs $400. I am plannin gon doing this to my bike as well but I ahve anfother question too. It says that you need an extra something if you are adding passing lamps of fa deluxe. The question is why and what is different with the deluxe passing lamps. I have a set sitting right here ready to go on.

Nacelle kit uses the stock headlight. Only the outer shell and Mounting block are eliminated. It bolts directly to the two nacelle halves. I think what your friend is referring to is the fact that you must use a FLH TRIM RING with the Nacelle kit.

Recognize that there is a Freight Train kit made specifically for Softails. With regard to the passing lamps, it is easy to see the difference between a Deluxe light bar and a Heritage light bar if you compare the two and how they mount to the fork. Do not order the extra parts kit to fit a light bar or windshield as you will not need any of these parts for the FLSTN install (again due to the different light bar mount)

C has superseded the B one. If you find a 67907-96B it will be older stock.
