RE: HID Lights for an 07 RR
Not Baffles, Ballasts.
Search the forum for Blue Fox's how to on custom installing HIDs on his '06 600RR the process will be the same for the '07. He even included links to the places he bought the parts from.
Good old Fox made one of the best how to's on the subject I have seen to date (might even be a sticky on the how to section, but I haven't checked. I'll leave that up to you)

RE: HID Lights for an 07 RR
Thanks for the compliments on the write up............here's the link to the thread.........
https://cbrforum.com/m_379249/tm.htm
If you have a 2007 600RR, I would suggest getting the "micro-ballast" kits. They have much smaller ballasts and you can mount them MUCH easier on the 07's. There is some room on the left side (where the computer is I believe) to mount one, the other one you could mount on the other side. I still have to "re-do" my roommates' HID install on his 07 600RR. We used the standard-size ballast kit, and his fairings bulge out a bit and don't line up properly.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Also, here's the link to the eBay store I bought my kits from.........the "micro-ballast or "super-slim" kits are the ones with the green Icon's next to them. You need the H7. I would recommend a color temperature of 5,000K or 6,000K. These have the brightest/whitest color output. For some reason, aftermarket HID's always have a blue/purplier tint to them than OEM HID kits. (for instance my next door neighbor has a 2006 BMW M5 with 8500k stock HID's, and they're whiter in apperance than my 6000k aftermarket HID's on my bike. But they're both just as bright on the road though.)
......and yes, you want the "Auto" kit because it's the one that includes 2 bulbs, ballasts and igniters. The motorcycle kit only has 1 of each, which is just half a car kit anyway, and use the same components.

I was going to order the 8000k' to try and achieve the same coloring as a BMW, or ACURA. Nope 6000k's eh! saaaaweetah.
