LED Halo Headlight

I've been looking at these H4 headlights with the built in LED Halo around the perimeter. I've seen lots of them for HD but I can't seem to find one for Kawasaki. Anybody found one that will fit in a Kawasaki headlight bucket, or know if there is a way to modify a HD one to fit. I'd like to put one on my 2005 1600 Nomad.

Cant help with the headlight, but i bought a pair of 5in chrome spotlights with the blue led halo, they look really smart, i have them angled slightly outwards so that i can see the horses that graze on the side of the forest roads where i live. got them on ebay £12.99 a pair ( $22.12 ) inc postage. I gave them a couple of coats of clear laquer and rode all through last winter and they are fine.

I dont think you'll find a direct fit, but it can be done.

Here's the one I had on my last bike ('05 Nomad)


And the current bike (Vaquero)

Jestphens, where do I get the headlight for the 05 Nomad. That's what I have. I saw your pics on plot bucket, what are the part numbers for the show chrome tail light LEDs with clear lens? Thanks.
