TRY AN AVOID TOUCHING THE ACTUAL BULB!

this is to show basically the entire kit.
your going to eventually cut the clear plastic over the bulb itself and discard it.
i ended up cutting the plastic grommet that held all the wires.
i also cut off some black piece that is show in pic #6
The red and black spades plug into the OE harness. Red - WHITE in the OE harness and Black - BLACK in the OE

everything else pretty much plugs into itself.

i ended up cutting this grommet thingy out as it prevent the dust cover from closing completely.

this is all you really need coming out of the dust cover (the red and black spades that plug into the OE harness) , i ended up shoving that rubber grommet i cut off, inside the outer tip of this cover to try and keep some water out.

ended up using the double sided tape to hold down the ballast and ignitor (the smaller black box) have an assortment of zip ties ZIC

plug everything together , zip tie as much as possibe.



its really an easy job and if your in town i'd help you put it together. i would say really about an 1/2 hr job. plan ahead. cuz i had to cut alot of elec tape that i had around the OE harness of a few times cuz i found a better path

Umm actually, you're supposed to paddle bit a hole in the cover, put the bulb in and use grommet to plug the hole... at least that's the way it was on mine. The inside of the grommet had the bulb and the two leads that go to the stock harness/bulb plug. The stupid black piece is supposed to be broken off, I think that it's used in some applications or heck, it just might be a stand/protector for the bulb. Anyway, I'm glad that you got it working alright for you!!!

For the money, I really don't think that you can go wrong with the DDM set-up. I tried to turn these guys on to them a long time ago but no luck... $54 is stupid cheap for HIDs!:rockwoot:

nope considering there a decent outfit shipping wise, got em 4 days vs 2 weeks last time.

if they last 1 yr for $54 its worth it........let alone the whole lifetime warranty.

Gas Man and I just hooked up my HID on Thursday. It looks awesome. Really helps with the shitty stock Buell headlight too. We wired up a relay, I still may do a timer delay too.

What color temp is yours?

5000

I suggest a timer delay or a switch to keep the ballasts from firing as soon as you turn on the key if your lights turn on before the bike starts. Sport bike batteries can't handle the amperage it takes to fire a ballast with the electrical system off, it kills batteries extremely fast.

There's that second box in the harness from DDM... For what it's worth, I've had HIDs for well over a year without any problems battery wise...:idk:

I wired up a relay to save my stock wiring. And it puts a noticable draw on the electricle system. And my battery was getting weak to begin with.

That's about when I started having issues with my battery. You can either get a $30 relay or a new battery your choice. I am just an electrical engineer, what do I know about current flow... :nee:

Ditto that - also because I think it's much harder on the bulb/ballast to cycle on/off/on.

Edit: Here ya go - I may try those on my VFR, and if so I'll probably go w/ this product: http://www.wolstentech.com/products/...delayrelay.php
