Like it. I also like your headlight. How well does it work? Is the projector beam the low beam or high. Is it really bright. If it is really good let us know where you got it. Tia

yea the headlight works a treat. its only a 35watt on high heam, if i remember correct. had to mess with the headlight stays for it to fit right. but still dint have the right brackets. The headlight unit is from a new Enfield thunderbird 2016. i have the projector set to high beam.

on the low beam you have a pattern of an Eagle with wings wide open. not that i wanted it but the spread of light is great.
It also has a little white led pilot light that surrounds the projector beam glass. all in all it was money well spent.

the Headlight unit is a little big and bulky you have to really hide it well. and the headlight bucket is chrome. need to get that changed to a matte or satin black.
