    My BiXenon headlight kit come in. We run 2 wires to the battery and I ran them in the wiring harness on top of the frame under the tank and into the fairing. Yep I went ahead and pulled the tank.
    Hooked the ballast up and the relay and pluged the headlight up.
    Had to leave the bike on for 10 minutes for the headlight to warm up the 1st time. And we adjusted my headlight.
    Its Plenty bright at 6000k and draws 35 watts.
    KNow this ain't much to tell but its all I could git tonite.

    Yep angle the running lights a bit to the side, you'll get more side road
    viewing (deer, pigs, hogs, mexicans)

    Be sure you aim it down, it's got a lot of light and
    you want to get the road lit up, not the oncoming
    drivers eyes...

    They want you to take the turn signals on front off and they got this nut with a wire runnin threw it. Want you to call snap on and git a FRX181 Flar nut socket to adjust the running light.
    My buddy tried to cut a socket and use it. He cut his wires into....:D

    The HID lights run off a ballast and pull less power than the stock HD bulb.
