Default Different plastics?

Hello everyone I'm new to the forum. I recently got a 2009 klx 250s during this summer and had plans on selling it again. After riding it a bit I have changed my mind and want to keep it but there are a couple of things that bother me and I don't want to spend alot of money on it because it has seen better days. I was wondering if another bikes fenders will fit ( I have read that the kx 450 is interchangable but have seen no proof) I'm not a fan of the front fender and have already changed it with a cheap supermoto fender and I never really liked it. I also want to delete the head light and have a number plate with a light bar. Has anyone done this? What number plates will fit? And lastly I would love to change the rear tail light for a smaller set up. Any recommdations on an inexpensive set up?
looking to make my bike more of a "motocross" supermoto set up aka give it a more aggresive look.
Thanks for any help if any from anyone I greatly appreciate it.
Here's my bike I'm from Canada and it's snowing out so I can't ride anytime soon so I'm in no rush for these mods lol

I have a 6 inch led bar mounted to the top of the headlight ,ount and in the process of mounting up a kx 450 number plate to the front. Looking at the mounting point i might have to make a couple brackets to bridge the gap but i think it is doable. Second picture is with a kx 450 front fender and rear fender. The rear takes some work but patience is doable

450 fender is not a bolt on, it will require some cutting and drilling, but can be done. Try searching the 250 sub-forum for KX450 if no one replies here. I figure another tool to fit one is a heat gun to rework plastic in places where it makes sense. I bought a clearance CR450R rear fender because it is red and close enough. Oddly enough both my Kawasaki KLX650 and 250 are red.

Thanks for the replys so far!
klxnoobie I like that tail light is there any rely or anything required do you know or is plug and play? Only had a quick look at it.
tacoma660 really like the led on the bar please let me know how the number plate works out and any side pictures of the 450 fender? Hard to tell if it is what I am looking for.

klx678 have you tried anything else from a honda bike? I like my rear fender would just like to tidy it up with a smaller light.

Tacoma 660 also forgot to ask how do you like those hand guards? I love the look just wondering how functional they are offroad.

This is what I found online it's fairly easy to install. Cleans up the rear fender.

For a few dollars more http://shop.12oclocklabs.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=28&product_id=61 12o'clock labs sells it with a plug that will fit the wiring harness so it's plug and play.

I figure the fender will work, but really didn't check or think about anything else. I just don't like the "Auburn Speedster" rear fender/tail light on my 09. I figure for the price it was worth trying the CRF fender. I haven't mounted it yet because I was deciding between putting it on my red 650 or my red 250. I think it's going on the 250 this spring.
