Default Installed HID's on my F4i

I bought the DDM Tuning kit for $65 shipped. Upgraded to the 55w for $15. Temperature is 5000k. I love them. I kind of wished I went with 4500k though. First picture is just low-beam and second picture is high-beam, respectively.

Looks great! How hard was the install and where did you mount everything?

I put the ballast between the intake tube and the frame and put the relays between the intake tube and fairing. I will take pics when it is light out.

DDM Tuning..35W and 8000k...Bluuuueee I taped the ignitors on the intake tubes and lodged and zip-tied the ballasts to the the inside of the 2 bulb housings...they smash-snug in there between the housing and the tip sensor...the double sided-sticky didnt hold for me here in the AZ desert heat so the ballasts come loose every now and then but having the 2 wires going into the ballast zip-tied to stationary wires on the frame keeps them from going anywhere...sometimes Ill look down and see one of the ballasts dislodge itself and it will somewhat hang there but the zipties ensure its not going anywhere so no worries..it cools off in the wind Damn those little ballasts get hot...I've got the slim ballast kit
