Default OPT7 LED Head Light Bulb

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how this bulb is supposed to fit into the 2016 iron headlight housing? I tried today, and walked away from the project after my Irish anger took over. I couldn't seem to get everything to fit and close up.

Thanks!

Not sure about that specific bulb... but I put an LED bulb in my 07 and it was pretty straight forward. I did have to forgo the rubber weather stopper thing though as the heat sink was too big for it.

Not at all.

That said... skip the bulb and just get one of the daymaker knockoffs on Amazon. WAY better. Only 30-50$ too. It's what I ended up going to.
