Looks sick with the evil eye! Coulda hooked them into the park light to instead of running wires to the fuse box....

That sounds somewhat less complicated.....any down side?

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Dataustin... there is nothing complicated about using the fuse tap I used, it's beyond easy. I didn't want to do any cutting or splicing into the existing wires, nor did I want to have one of the "Aux" switches on full-time just to run the evil eyes.

The fuse tap I used is beyond simple. Here's a link to one similar to what I used:

Bussmann BP/HHH ATM Add-A-Fuse : Amazon.com : Automotive


It doesn't get any simpler than that. The fuse tap has 2 slots for fuses, the bottom slot is where the fuse you replaced goes and it provides the same protection as it did before. The top slot is where a new fuse goes (I used a 3 amp) and this is for the wire coming off the tap that I used to run the evil eyes.

Got it.....thanks for the explanation.

All I can say is Wow! I'm loving them, sooo much better than the stock halogens and they definitely look better. I got the black 2013's with amber evil eyes. I haven't seen the grey versions, but since my truck is black it was a no-brainer to go with that.

I didn't upgrade the stock projector, but that's an option if you wanna go big. But to anyone on the fence about the stock projectors over the halogens, it's a huge improvement.

Ducati's cabling and work was top-notch, the evil eyes were perfect and symmetrical (I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I look for these things. lol). Easy install with a few basic tools and some elbow grease. Took me about 2 hours, but then again I do 15 minutes of work and then stand back and stare at it for 10.

Wanted the evil eyes to come on and off with the key, so I used this fuse tap. Because this part of the fuse box is lower, the lid still closes no problem.

I went back & forth between the '13 & '12 heads before choosing the '12s with LS460's. You really can't go wrong either way. Those look very nice.

holy crap, $1,750 is a lot. How does this compare to those other retrofits?
