Ok, I gotta ask. Why swap the headlights? It seems you put a bit of effort to install Kelly's grill and buckets and there are lots of options nowadays for single round led lights.
Was it better light output, aesthetics, or you wanted to increase the air-miles bonus on your credit card?

Mostly aesthetics. I still like the round headlights and the Morimotos are great, but with the quads and a custom harness, I can run all 4 lights on low & high and get even better output. Makes a big difference in light output

I paid about $140 on eBay a few months ago. There were several sellers from Japan selling brand new OEM units but I can't find them anymore. Must have burned through all their old inventory.
