It is a h7 bulb. I installed my ballast with velcro then stacked on top of each other on the front fairing in between the intake openings. Fit perfect for me. I tried the access cover I could not make it work.

8000k has minimal light output loss from 6000k. 10k and up is really when you start to notice it.

EEK! [:-] Well I hope they work alright for ya. HID's are kinda one of those things you get what you pay for. My first set was one of the cheaper ebay ones and I absolutely hated them.... constant problems from day 1. They did look nice when they worked, but both low and high beam would just randomly shut off whenever they felt like it. Nothing like taking off hard from a stop, or going around a curve and have everything go pitch black.... fun fun [&:] The set I have now I spent a little more on from xenondepot but it's a much better quality kit, and have had zero problems thus far.

But I do hope they work for you alot better than mine did!
