Nice work on that bumper!

Thx Mick - sometimes ya just gotta look at it in a different way. I usually take a step back and try and take some time off to keep from grabing the Dremel!
So I got back at it after quickly reading the service manual. I dropped the headlight from the clamp and let it dangle from the harness. I then peared into the factory turn signals which showed me that it was attached with an Allen bolt. I tried to get a socket wrench with extention onto it but after several failures I just went to a standard allen wrench. Both turn signals unscrewed easily. I then opened up the headlight to trace out the wires. I was happily surprised, when I removed the lens to see a managable wiring harness. For those that have tried to work inside a Bonneville headlight you will remember how tight, stuffed and difficult it is to work the wires in and out of the back of the headlight. Anyway, the Honda is very manageable. I was happy to find the color coded Blue for left signal and Orange for right signal in there and right in front!

I disconnected the turn signals and easily pulled them through and put both of them away with the rears. I was now left with these mounts to think about how I will fabricate the fit. As most of you already know, the factory hole is size 6 and the Posh are size 8. This will present no problem for me because I will simply drill out the holes like all before me.

I will push the Posh's through the hole and sock them in place with a washer, lock washer and bolt . . . Not forgetting the RTV Blue. Then run the wires back into the harness, plug them in and electrical tape them in place like I did with the rear.
Meanwhile, why I had the headlight off you know I swapped out the 55/60 factory bulb for a 55/100 H4 Famethrower!

The only thing tricky about the swap is pulling off the rubber dust cover. After you get it off, just replace the bulb (and do not touch the bulb with your bare hands, the skin oil will at best shorten the life, at worse burn it out immediately) here is how the spring is reassembled.

And finally with the rubber dust cover back on. Please note on the rubber dust cover there is a "Top" stamped on it. Notice the orientation.

Tomorror I go back to my local hardware store and get my metal drill bit and anchoring hardware.
