~~If you are familiar with~~ these flushmounts, ~~you already know that~~ the bulb socket is tilted in a manner that requires a small section of the fairing to be cut away. There are rubber bases that go between the fairing and the flushmount provided with the signals. These provide nice templates for the section that will need to be removed. Please note that the baseplate design has changed since these photos were taken. The newer ones look like this, and involve a simple circular cut of your fairing.

Here is an external picture of the finished alteration of the main fairing. If the fit is just a bit tight, use small sanding drums, your cutoff wheel, or a file to make it slightly bigger, until you're satisfied with the fit. Yellow paper is used here to make the cutout area more visible.
