Headlight Compatibility

Does anyone know if the headlight assembly from the 04-06 model will fit in the 07-08 fairing? Just from looking at pictures I don't think it will but the people selling them on ebay are claiming that it does.

So............?







I guess I'll be the first one to try and find out.....I hope this works.

i have never head of anyone trying, but from the looks of it the 07+ is a little bit thinner top to bottom, but might be an illusion.

I have however seen the R6 projector light conversion and would love to see a write up on that...

Now that sounds like a more worth while experiment.....got any more details on it? I'm assuming it wasn't a straight fit and required some cutting of the plastic.

You're talking about this guy right?

I guess he just fitted the projectors into the FZ6 casings..

ah yeah, that's cool and all, but I think I'll just stick with the regular old headlight. Thanks for the idea though.

yeah, i thought he had the whole thing swapped in, but maybe if i ever have a tone of spare $ i will get the lights and a spare fairing and give it a whirl...
