Look at the very first post. That is the one to get, it has everything you need. Except a 5mm allen wrench.

one prob I have with the install. When hooking the stock headlight cradle to the ballasts which wires go together. Stock headlight has a blue and a green wire while the ballast has a red and black. Please help.

I think what I did was test the bulb with the wires. I just hooked up the wire to each one to see which one worked.

correct me if I'm wrong but i was looking at the ebay link for the HID kit

These are normally made for a car right?? so they come with 2 bulbs and 2 ballasts cause on the link it says auto kit H7 comes with 2 of everything then right under it says motorcycle one of everything. So I am unsure if I have to buy 1 or 2 kits (hi/lo)

I"m trying to understand how the wiring works. If its an auto kit..doesn't the relay force both lights to come on when the bike is started making the hi beam switch useless?? Or are they independent of each other??

YOu only need to buy one car H7 kit. It comes with two bulbs, two igniters and two ballasts. The high beam is only used when you physically turn on your high beam switch. Each bulb is independent from each other.

Installed my lights tonight and I was able to get a ride in. The lights look great and are much much brighter than stock. Def worth the cost!!!
