I bought the relay harness from ddmtuning. Once I get done I will post the pictures.

 

Great I'll be looking forward to it. I'm looking at getting a dual kit as well, but I'm torn between 35w and 55w, so you're thoughts on the 35w's output/brightness and installation will be very helpful.

 

my kit comes in tomorrow and i am confused on the need for a wiring harness..i understand its purpose but it seems like a a lot of people are just fine without it..am i wrong? i picked up the 35w 6k dual kit and had planned on putting in this weekend..i dont mind putting the harness in if its truly needed..just seems a 55w h7 bulb in a car would have the same wiring a 55w h7 bulb in a bike would have imo but my opinion is just that

 

i thought the same thing, and got the same kit, lemme know how it goes bro!

 

I think while we're all waiting on the install, here's my two cents on the harness. Basically, for one bulb, you will not need it, whether it be 35w or 55w. What some plan on doing, myself included. Is to get TWO 55w, 6k h7 bulbs, and replace both lights. We don't want their to be any draw issues from the stock wiring harness, so we're running the HID's directly off the battery. Works and functions the EXACT same as your regular headlights would, just gets the power from a different route.

 

you know guys ive been lookin around on ebay and they have some cheaper sets with good feedback that im sure could be retrofitted

I'm one to never try and retrofit things anymore. If I had the patience, yes, but I've spent countless hours doing projects late into the night that require retrofitting, and it makes me want to kill myself.

 

I believe the main purpose of the wiring harness is for the initial start. HID use a larger amount of power to ignite the bulb and then run at 35 or 55w. I have had HID in my car for 2 years now and although they did indeed work on the stock wiring, I had much better results with the wiring harness. On the stock wiring quite often one would not ignite. Since the wiring harness I never had a problem.

From what I know and hear, bikes have pretty sensitive electrical systems so the way I look at it is why put extra strain on it when for an extra $15 you can make sure you have a safe setup. Just my $.02 though.
