So now i will replace the stock bulbs with the " Osram-Nightbraker " ,
i guess i have to remove the outer fairing too .
Or is their a possibility to change the bulbs without removing the outer fairing ?

NO! Outer fairing must come off.

HoHoHo ,
changing the bulbs was much easier when i did it at my Fatboy ,
The problem was to bring back the sharknose-fairing in the right position ,
there are soooo many details you have to look , that was not soo easy for me .
If you never did it before ( like me ) or even have experience with a Batwing ( that i had ) then don`t do it .
At the end , i speek about 3 hours , i finally made it , the fairing is perfect back on the bike .
And here is the result of replacing the stock bulbs with the " Osram Bilux H4 replace Nightbraker " bulbs :
I think you can see a difference :
Stock bulbs :

I replaced the headlight bulbs with Osram Nightbreakers they are allot better than stock. When you remove the shark nose front just remove the black headlight cover. Then snap out the headlight housing by squeezing the green clips. Hang the outer fairing on the hooks and hookup the headlight wires then snap the headlight housing into fairing. Finish applying screws, turnsignal and black bezel.

they need to put this in the manual. :2vrolijk_21:

inserting the bucket can be a bit tedious but its much easier this way.

I want to install the kit, I think the XenonLink, on my Deuce - 2004 with a standard H4 bulb I believe.  Has anyone done similar?  I'm not too concerned about the focus, people will deal, thought with 2004 I have the glass relectors, not the clear glass and rear deflector.

Big question is - has someone done with a simlar small headlight - is there room in headlight for the ballast, if not where did you put it?

Did light focus work out reasonably well in any similar year, lens reflecter install?

OK, one more, and don't laugh - they talk about the light temperature colors.  Is there any actualy temperature difference - meaning is the 8000 color actually burn hotter and should be stayed away from in motorcycle applications?

replace the bulb with a Osram nightbraker , that is much much much easier and brings out a very good result and is very cheap ( just about 14 Euro )  :2vrolijk_21:

I kinda was trying to stay a little below the radar because in truth, my Deuce is, well, a Deuce not a CVO.  I joined because I found this group to be very knowledgeable and civil, a difficult thing to find in a Harley web site...You can commence kicking me off now...but I beg for mercy, I owned up to my motoring inadequacies...

Jim, we just never ride at night, so most likely will never do the mod, but having said that, I just wanted you to know how much I always enjoy your posts, it's one thing to start a thread & say, lookie what I did" but it's another to take the time to detail HOW you did it. Again I really enjoy the information threads you post.  much regards, Jack in GA.
