1299s led headlight onto 959

Took about 6-7 hours between fiddling around removing all the pieces without scratching the paint.
Panels are a pita to remove and reinstall.
The screws strip just looking at them.
I've tried to add more pictures but I'm having a hard time.
The lighting difference is Day and night compared to the halogen.
You will need to cut the plastic trim near the cluster or purchase the 1299s plastic cluster because it's cut out for the led heat sinks where the 899/959/1199 are full with no cutouts.
I cut out most of the harness and relays because they are not needed and I don't plan on ever removing the light again.

For now I'm waiting for a couple of parts to come in to see if everything will fit back together, I'm also waiting for the tinted windscreen before I finish up so should be about another week
So for the headlight conversion what I've used so far
1299s headlight
4601D171a meter cover
I've removed all the connectors as much as I could and saudered the connections as I have no intention of removing the light

Installation was not very complicated if your a little mechanically inclined and patient.
It's going into the unknown that's the worse because you don't know what to expect.
Removing everything is easy along with picture taking, I looked at several videos on YouTube before proceeding with this.
Everything was strait forward however the only issue up to date is the gauge surround ( meter cover ) is needed for the installation otherwise you will have to cut it out like I did.
I didn't like the end result so I ordered the meter cover from a 1299s which was like only 30.00 cad or 27.00 us.
I took advantage to get some pro-ti titanium screws for the windshield along with the smoked Ducati windshield since I have the front disassembled.
I'm not up to doing this again anytime soon .

Any new information on this conversion. I was able to snag one for $600 tonight, trying to dig up as much info as possible before start. Any issue since doing the install? Saw on another forum you had a buzzing sound when your first turned the headlight on. Ever figure out if that was normal?
