First off i know there is another one here at http://www.r6-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85236 all good and all but there are no pictures and its a couple of years old.... Any way here we go...
As title says is a $4-$15 mod mostly waiting and patience...
List of Things needed
9Volt battery (D or C?)
Your choice of colored LED Bulbs
Got mine at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649&item=280634214128&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT They are 2.99 Free shipping USA seller.
This is going to piss some of you off but you'll need the Stock license plate bracket (understand why in a bit).
A Drill with 3/8 and 1/2 inch drill bits.
Some Locktite semi permanent adhesive.
Third Eye from 08+ Nose piece.
Some 18-14 Gauge wire splices (Harbor Freight has them for 5.99 for 50).
Patience and some drinks...
The third eye i bought on the forum is from an 08 my bike is a 2010
HOW TO TIME!!!!:toocool:Before you ask thats my dads hand:sing
Depending on where you get your items and how much time you actually have to do this mod its cheap and effective.
Step OneTake apart your Fairings to get to the nose piece http://www.r6-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84682 For how to i didn't take any pictures really no need to when someone else already had a how to.
Now that you have your Third Eye
Go grab your Stock license plate bracket.
Step Two
With the stock bracket tear it all apart until you have to the wiring harness for the license plate light. (it has little bullet adapters)
Step Three
Grab the bulbs you got off of eBay and throw them in the harness.
Find out which wire is positive and which is negative and more the negative.
Step Four
Line up the drill you have using the 3/8bit right behind the Yamaha symbol on the front of the third eye, Drill slow slow slow so you dont melt the plastic and you get a decent idea of where your hole is ending up.
Once you have your hole drilled with the 3/8 move up to the 1/2 Drill bit and widen the hole till the light and harness barely fits.
Step Five
Before throwing your light and harness in your new hole make sure you secure the light within the harness with some semi-permanent adhesive... in my case we used some locktite waterproof stick & seal.
Let the sealant dry and double check that your light is working. If it is not remove the light and sealant clean off the contacts and use less adhesive.
Step Six
THROW THAT BITCH IN THERE:lmao
Get your choice of lubricant and slowly work the harness with the bulb in the hole you have made. (some sort of non water based lube only)
Double check that your light is working after you put the harness in the hole
If your light is not working pull it out and secure it to the contacts then try placing it in the hole but go slower
Step 7?
Go back to the tutorial http://www.r6-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84682 and reverse the process.
When reassembling route your wiring harness for the third eye so there are no kinks or major bends or else you will lose continuity.
Sadly i dont have any picture of the wiring process as this is purely preference per each person. In other words after you have your wiring harness routed properly choose your own choice as how to wire it.
I put mine with my running lights.
Final Product
Currently i only have Day shots i will post some night shots when it gets dark out here in DFW.
