Front bullets????
I want to go with bullet turn/running lights on the front of my electraglide standard. I want to keep the spot lights so the street glide setup is out.
Harley has some that bolt to the stock mounts http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US but I want a tighter/cleaner look, more like on the softail deluxe.
Kuryakyn has some http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/...ion_p/5011.htm that look ok but still hang down some. Anyone have any experience with them?
The Fancy harley kit http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US is very nice (and expensive with the mounting kit) but I don't think it really goes with my less bling standard. I am planning on blacking out the front.
I don't know how the softail ones mount with the spots? Has anyone mounted the softail bullets and spots on a elecrtaglide? I do like that look.

OK, I did a little more research and found the deluxe bullet studs mount inside the spots (adjustment nightmare?). The problem looks like the adjusting "ball" is built into the light bar? I'm guessing the adjustment "washer" on my spots could be used? Other than that it, looks like I'd need the deluxe spot housing, bullet lights and mounting hardware to do the swap? Of course pricing that stuff new is a little much!

Since I like to have ends to these threads. I did pony up for black HD spots and bullets along with some powder coat.
Before
After
Also got rid of the fender light with RKC tip. I was hoping it was pot metal and powdercaotable but it is cheap plastic just like the light. I do think it looks OK and adds alittle contrast. Not sure about the bottom-back piece?

Here is a little write-up I did when I switched the front a rears to bullets on my old EGC.
I used the rear bullet bar conversion kit 68615-04 for the rear. For the front I got the parts breakdown for the Bullet Style Turn Signal Kit and just ordered the front bullet lights. The part numbers are
69165-03 (amber lenses)
69201-03 (clear lenses)
69203-03 (smoke lenses)
You may want to order the socket housings (plugs) just in case yours are different. I know mine were. Part numbers are 73156-96BK.
For the fronts make sure you order two each of the signals and socket housings.
