@caliesv - Is it anything like what this guy had to do in this video? It involved trimming the light a bit to get it to fit...

I never seen that video. Wish I had b4 I put mine in. That's actually a much better, sturdier way to mount them. If you have the means to follow that video, I would.

@caliesv - Thanks for being so prompt in your responses. I'll have to watch the video again to decide if that's what I want to do. Oh DRLs.

What are you using as covers?
 
The plastic diffuser sheets that they use for office lighting. Not sure exactly what they are called though

If so, did you just cut it to size and "glue" the acrylic in place? Did you have to bend or vacuum form the covers at all?

That link didn't work for me so I'm not sure. It's like a $7 sheet at Home Depot. I didn't glue because it's not a final setup that I want. When I figure out everything perfectly I will be posting a how to video to my YouTube channel.

Much appreciated! I like the look you have going but I have some crazy ideas I want to incorporate with the same final aesthetics as you have.  8D

Got these on today from eBayer creese1 (Chris Reese). He replies fast to any questions and ships items out even faster. Highly recommended as others have also posted.
 
I got the kit with DRLs wiring and the metal plates. I didn't need to use the plates that came with the kit. Furthermore I cut and soldered the wires instead of running the new wires that came with the kit. I reused the rubber mounts and simply used the nuts that came with these LEDs to mount them on the rubber. They work and look great. I included some pics and included a pic for size comparison compared to the huge oem fugly signals.
 
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/331940975564

If god created us in his image, does that mean god is an egomaniac as well?

Word is TST industries will have flush mount turn signals with a halo running light for the r3 which would be compatible with the 7. I really can't stand how the orange pumpkins look anymore but I'm willing to wait until they come out with those.

Are the aluminum plates adapters needed? I just purchased the lights and want to make sure if I need them or not...

I used them, so I'm not sure. I'd probably say yes because of the teardrop shape of the cut out.

Sweet!
I just went back and looked at hugson2wheels' post, and it looks like he used them as well.

It's all about keeping that rubber side down.

Pardon the bug guts. I have flush mount turn signals, but after riding with them for awhile I decided they are a little too flush. I 3D printed some angles so they can be a little more visible from the front.

I don't have any signals on the rear, they are integrated into my brake light.

Wanted Yamaha euro signals with the clear lenses, but hard to find and too much $$$ to ship when I did find them
Bought OEM signals for KTM Adventure.  No running lights, but I don't see that on many other bikes anyway.

Those look awesome!  How much do you think it would cost you to make a couple more????

Honestly, super cheap and easy to make with parts from 3 different vendors:

https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-schematic/2

(I bought lock nuts and washers from Ace Hardware for a buck)
 
https://tstindustries.com/TST-Yamaha-Y-Style-Signal-Harness-Splitter.html
 
After all was installed, turn signals were flashing too fast because new bulbs are 10W and old are 21w, so just put this on today and everything is fine.

If you can manufacture your own angled mounts, slapping these parts together should be a snap.
The only modification I had to make was to drill a hole into two spacers to accept the alignment tab on the turn signals.

I just got my Proton 500 LED lights install and couldn't be happier! Here's a video I made with a link for 15% discount if you decide you want a pair!
