you can find some info here...linky (http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=270623&highlight=lights) look on the 2nd page. but i put mine on gas tank plastic infront of gas cap

did u just drill hole and how did u get the lights out of the original plastic piece

[Merl991]

to get them out of the original plastic... take a small screwdriver and pry the red, yellow, and green caps off. once they are gone the rubber light asm will just slide out. the original holes are oblonged so, you have to drill a hole and then take a file or dremel to shape it the rest of the way. i made a cardboard template from the original holes to help.

hey drew, if you want some help i can come over and help you with it...i had to do this on my old 450. its real easy. like merl said, just pop the colored caps off with a screwdriver...the light/rubber with slide right out of the hole from the bottom. then find a spot you like to mount the lights. you can drill a hole somewhere in the plastic or ziptie them up in the cables.

all i did with mine was found where it plugged in right by where the front light plugs in and just pulled that out and took all the lights and plastic off. its super easy really.

I drilled mine in a triangle shape below the steering stem on the tank cover and mounted them there. I like it, but it can be kind of hard to see the lights with the bar pad in the way.
