I already thought about removing my tool box and mounting the ballast there, but that would only be for the right side. The wires won't reach to the left headlight.
Ahhhhh, and that's why my older style HID's with seperate igniters reign supreme once again!!! [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Have you tried going to an Automotive Electrician yet? I believe they can make you extension wires. Just take the entire kit down to an automotive electrician and see if they can extend them for you. If not, it was worth a shot. If so, problem solved.

Here's a photo of the newer $119.99 HID from ebay. Waiting for the weather to be warmer for the install.

What's the eBay link to that kit? I would like to do some research on them.

Did you get it from the same eBay store I did, or is it a different eBay seller?

Different eBay seller. If you check all the sellers out there and they show pics of their kits, they'll all lookthe same.

Hey Blue,

That's actually a photo I have taken after receiving the HID unit. Sorry if that I might had given the impression that it's an ebay posting. I have purchased this from that same ebayer that you had recommended.

Will try to post some pics once I get it installed/setup.

Thanks,
Soonster

No, no, I knew that you bought it from eBay, I was just wondering which eBay seller was selling those particular units.........which you answered for me....thanks.

Seems like they shipped it to you in a box even. lol. My HID Kit came in two seperate US Postal Service envelopes with bubble-paper wrapped around all the parts. Needless to say, the shipping method was crap, but it looks like they corrected that.

Hey Bluefox, Im in the process of using your write up to wire my HID's and I was wondering did u use a 3 ft. fuel line hose on each side of the bike, and if you did...did you crosswire the lights(left headlight wired to the right side of the bike, etc) If you have any other help you can offer just let me know, thanks


Anthony.
