you should have an excess of wire because you take the stock plug and plug the inverters into that then plug the HID bulb into the inverters, so you are adding another 2 or so feet to the already long enough stock wiring

Oh theres plenty of wiring, you have the wiring for the ignitors and the ballasts. I had to zip tie a bunch of them together and tidy them up under the hood. I didnt have any problems at all, its easier than the bike, cuz you dont have to pull off a fairing, just plug in the new bulb and plug in the wires.

Two quick questions. For the two spade connectors that go from the HID ballasts to the stock headlight connector, what did you guys use to keep them in? Mine wiggles around too much and I'm afraid it's going to fall out while riding. Will it be ok to just solder the spades into the connector? Second question: how do you aim your headlights? o.O

Dominate: To answer your question about the wiring, I cut the ends off and reconnected them with new connectors. So they are one piece and won't come apart. 2nd, you don't have to aim your headlights, if you put them in correctly they should be aimed already. The metal clip that holds it in, may seem a bit loose just tighten your holding screw and it wil be secure.

paluoo, because you are too lazy to do a search, here is a link for you

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Auto-...Q5fAccessories

Next time read the entire post before asking questions. In the very first post of the post, there was a link to the unit that was purchased. But since you are new, I will give you some slack

Sorry to bag on you bro, just seen so many not do their research. Hope that link helps you out. If you have any further questions that have not been answered already, PM me and I will assist you. Total time to dissasemble, install and re-assemble 2 hours. It can be done in about an hour, but I wanted to clean up all the wires and make it look pretty. When you install each light, hook it up and test it first before you put it all together.

I guess it does, but you only use your high beams on a desolate road where there are no cars and when a car comes, you turn it off. Isn't that what you do now?

I see. It's just that I saw some other posts saying that you should aim your high beams down a little bit and I like riding with both lights on so I wanted to aim them down so I don't kill people lol. Oh and when I turned them on tonight after my install, it didnt look nearly as blue as the ones you guys posted. Although I purchased the same ones you guys did in the 1st link. (8000k) :shrug: Oh well I don't really need blue haha.
