    Ok got the light installed. Just waiting for it to get dark enough to go try it out and adjust it, maybe 30 minutes more.

    Aloha....Mike

    Mike, you need to put up a time and temp indicator like many of us do that way we can all tell what time your at and your temp over there in Paradise.
    Post some pics of the new light. :)

    Copy this into your signature in your User CP. But put [​IMG] at the back. If I put those at the front and back here to show you it will show as it does at the bottom and you won't be able to copy it so again copy below and add those two things to it in your signature in your user cp

    //weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetempbig/US/HI/Honolulu .gif

    And it will look like this

    Forgot to mention, when I went to install the new light the retaining ring would not fit over the new light. I had to use a coarse emery cloth to take the outside edge down a little bit before I could get the retaining ring to fit. Made me very nervous, but I didnt see any other way. The idea of putting scratches into my new $475 light just don't sit right.

    Aloha...Mike

    HRK This is what I get from your directions...did I miss something?

    You did it right except you had a space between the last part gif [/IMG].

    Make sure there are no spaces. I just went in and edited yours taking out that space and it works.

    it's pretty straight forward
    drill one hole or two, install the brace on the back of the
    outer faring, clip it in,

    Biggest issue is that the lights may rub on harness
    so you might have to move some of the harness
    around a bit and zip tire it up.

    Before you put it back on with the LED unit
    slip the outer faring on and look to see what
    parts of the harness might get in the way

    Move them up and over and zip tie them
    then install.
