How hot did you have it?Guys,
I failed at a Projector lens install and baked my headlight in the oven too long.
I need a new headlight ASAP!
Anyone know where to get them soon. Honda Australia have none!

That's not normally a stock item and would be ordered in. That should be the fastest way to get one.
I've contacted TYGA via email and am awaiting a response but it is coming up to christmas so not expecting a reply straight away. thanks for the tip!Tyga performance

In regards to baking the headlight.Just a quick question , not sure why you put your headlight in the oven. What were you trying to do? Please explain.
Basically the clear plastic part of the headlight has bubbled under the heat and is not usable for anything. The black plastic part of the Headlight assembly is fine for some reason.What does it look like now? I imagine it looks like a melted toy soldier under a magnifying glass...*
Probably the reason they would fail is due to the wiring of the headlight. I believe here in Australia if a bike comes stock with the headlight wired on always and you modify it to have the headlight with an on/off switch you will fail registration (MOT for England).I've heard rumours of bikes failing MOT tests in England with these installed. I don't know if they're true or not.
All points I agree on entirely. Good info in this post. Someone get this person a beer!Those projectors from the video look like the Morimoto Mini H1 projectors. Those are good projectors right there! That video makes the process of retrofitting projectors into a reflector headlight seem quite simple but I assure you it is not. For those of you baking your headlights remember that it is better to set the temperature to a lower setting and bake slightly longer than setting it high and melting your headlight housing. Trust me! I melted one of my car's headlights once (not bad enough to not be able to use it though). Oh! Don't be surprised if your headlight housing starts getting foggy on the inside after baking them apart when riding in the cold/rain or washing the bike. Headlights are harder to seal back properly than they are to take apart!
I think it's more down to the aim of the beam. Over here, it goes more to the left than the right, as we ride on the left. In other countries, where they ride on the right, the opposite applies. The headlamps on bikes are country specific, depending on which side of the road you ride on.Probably the reason they would fail is due to the wiring of the headlight. I believe here in Australia if a bike comes stock with the headlight wired on always and you modify it to have the headlight with an on/off switch you will fail registration (MOT for England).
I'm aiming to leave it wired in stock so i don't have a problem.
