Just took my 2020 Himma out as the evening was setting in here in Oz after fitting her with the Cyclops 10.0 H4 replacement bulb and driver and loved it. Beam pattern is surprisingly good for a direct switch out from halogen design reflector, the colour is fine, clean and just a minor adjustment to angle and the road ahead is now well lit. Yes it’s a bit of a jiggle getting the driver and cables to “fit” but it does. I only trimmed one of the rubber boot nipples down to allow the bulb to seat and turn in the holder to locate / lock in the bulb, as I said a bit of jiggling to get the lower lip of the outer glass and shroud in, and voila. Cyclops provide a useful instruction sheet to guide the bulb switch out process. Along with the JFG Racing universal handguards I had also fitted when I first got her, this just put a smile on my dial.

I know this has been a while since you posted your message, can you share a pic or two of where do you have the cyclops mounted?
Thanks
Sorry to jump in on the question, the cyclops bulb and driver and cabling all fit within the headlamp assembly. The cyclops led bulb is a H4, so mounts just as the old halogen. I wore a pair of cotton gloves as I fitted the bulb so as not to put risk any oils from our skin, just as I would any bulb replacement. The jiggling I mentioned in my post is in keeping the cabling and driver “in place” without fouling while you close the headlamp assembly without forcing anything, it’s just a matter of the cabling clearing the mount points etc inside the assembly which will become obvious when you look at the innards and with the cyclops bulb and driver and interconnect cable in hand. It’s all just that bit bulkier than a simple halogen bulb, but it fits and works well and makes the world of difference to lighting the road. As I wrote, I had to cut a bit off one of the rubber nipples to allow the new bulb to seat correctly, I used a Stanley knife blade for that. Sorry I don’t have any images to help, but I can say the unit is still fine, you just hear the cooling fan running when you turn the ignition on before starting the engine and it runs whenever the bike is on.
