Anyone have a changing headlight tutorial?
I want to change my stock headlight out on my 06 night train. If i remember correctly, there is a mess laod of wires in the housing of the heradlight. What happens to all of these wires when you change to an aftermarket light. Ill be geting a longer headlight, maybe a 5 3/4" x 7-9" powder coated balck of course.
Anyone have pictures of this transformation that they have performed on theirs of a tutorial I can look at for my own reference?
thanks

If you're just changing out the housing for the light, then you'll just put all those wires into the new housing and plug the new bulb in. There shouldn't be anything more to do. It's not like you're going to cut out the wires and toss them away. I just changed my headlight to the new LED bulb and it was just plug and play. The only wire I found in there was the one to the bulb. I'm guessing you're making this sound a lot harder than it really will be. Just go for it already!

For the Night Train just unplug the old light add the necessary pins to the wires on the new light and either reuse the old plug or buy a new one and plug it in. They don't have a wiring harness in the headlight like some bikes. At least my 09 didn't. I put a FatBob headlight on the Train and it was just plug and play. The mount was a different story.
