Took me about 3 hours to do it, basically you undo all the screws on the back of the light, heat it up in the oven, pull it apart and start cutting; i found using a dremel was a chore so i pulled out the air compressor/saw... Once you've cut the lens/front cover and the back of the light heatshrink the pipe onto the trumpet and glue it in place using sikaflex/tigerseal then last but not least put the light back together, you may need some lockwire to secure the inner dipped headlight reflector as you have just cut out one of the mounting points! Finally, smile like a cheshire cat because you managed to do it without f^&*£%$ anything up :luxhello:

It's like driving whilst wearing an eye patch :lol:

TBH i never drive around with the full beam on so it hasn't had an effect on my nightime driving
