848 Headlight Unit

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Bob T, Jul 20, 2015.

  1. I am after a headlight unit for an 848/1098 or similar. My aim is to change the dip beam projector to a dip/main beam with a solenoid operated shutter and remove the shield from the main beam projector. I would also like to see what options there are for LED side lights inside the unit.
    I have done all these mods to my ST2 with great success but I also have a 35 watt HID kit in that.
    The reason that I want to start with a spare unit is that I don't want to take the 848 off the road while I am doing it.
    Anyone got a spare headlight laying around that they are willing to sell and post to me?
     
  2. Seen a few cheap ones on eBay for about £120 recently. There was a bloke on this forum who did what you're wanting to do, IIRC a year or so ago and I think he offered to do other people's as well. Might be worth having a scan through the old threads.

  3. Thanks Ian, I thought that I had read the forum a long way back when I bought the 848, but there is so much information that I may have missed something.
     
  4. I have one with a small mark on one of the lenses, works perfectly, pm if you are interested
