10-4, thanks gasgasman - that is actually the exact item I am ultimately after.

For others who are looking - this is only for the LED light itself, it doesn't include the headlight mask or graphic (thus my attempt to find a used one).

The description says "Integrated in a support that adapts perfectly to the geometry of the headlight holder and that greatly facilitates installation", but that isn't a clear comment given the picture. I talked to Del at CPD, and this is a "plug and play" LED that will fit into your existing headlight holder/number plate.

I did some "costing analysis" today.

You can purchase the headlight numberplate ($10) and straps (2x$4) for less than $20 - so very inexpensive. But you still need the mounting brackets/screws/adjuster knob/etc. All of that "little stuff" adds up to $36. So $54 for the shell and hardware.

Or, you can purchase a complete stock headlight with stock lense/bulb for $93. Then add $201 for the 4900 Lumen LED.

You still don't have a graphic - and they only come in a kit. The 2021 MR300 and the "Rieju renew plastic kit" both have the one in the picture, but cost $99/$199 respectively.

This is way more info. than anyone probably needs, but if you're looking to add a headlight - you can get one for $93. If you go LED, you've got roughly $294 into the project, which compared to other options out there really isn't that bad.

In the end, I thought that the stock headlight cost more than it does, so I'll just go ahead buy a new one.

Thanks for letting me burn some internet time here sharing what I found

Jeff
