Street Glide custom headlight

First off, I am a new member from Indiana. Second, I decided to try my hand and making a headlight since I couldn't find one that I thought was great or unique. I know it looks busy as hell but I was trying out some different options since I was wiring it all up anyway, why not try all of my ideas? Generally I like the look I have going with it and as long as I am not running the different color LEDs at the same time I am happy with it. Anyway I made a video that's about a minute long to show what I have going on, let me know what you guys think. And since it is a true HID setup the light output is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to look guys. The link below the pic should take you to the video of it.

Sorry, I get a little excited and forget some important stuff like what I did lol. So it is an aftermarket 7" headlight off of ebay, I broke out it's lens (it was going to be too shallow when I was done), then used a dremel to grind down the inside of the remaining housing to match the diameter of the shroud around the HID projector that I used. I put some LED's inside the shroud to give the demon eye effect and the wiring is all plumbed up inside the fairing with the ballast mounted to the factory radio support. I used a four-way touch pad controlled power block to activate each color LED (That uses 2 of the four), activate the bat lashes (that is one more), and have one open spot remaining for when I add fogs. The lens to cover it all up I made from a sheet of clear lexan that I heated and formed over a plaster mold. You are from Indiana too, so I know you can appreciate the need to throw some light out in front of you, and I appreciate the comment.
