There are adapters for JLs to use the 7” round. I was wondering if one of those could be used with ours.
Check out how this guy did his using the JL rings:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pqsuREb5mEI'm not knocking him or the conversion; from my perspective, he figured out something that set me down the path of what I'm working on now. That said, there are two things I'm not keen on about his approach:
1. The JL rings only have two solid mounting points to the KJ vs. the original headlight buckets' three points. This could get wobbly in motion.
2. The headlights don't mount at the correct angle. He even mentions that the light isn't going out straight in front of the KJ.
The method I'm working on basically 3D prints two adapter rings that the off-the-shelf 7" mounts can attach to, thus permitting use of just about any headlight using a 7" sealed beam mounting pattern. The adapter rings use the stock headlight mounting locations (2 screw-down points and one tab), so installation is pretty much plug & play.

These foglights I am working with have DRL and Turn halo rings as well.
Ah, nice - I think I know the ones you mean. They are kinda nifty
