So cant sleep, figured id try to help some guys out or werent sure about HID install. So lets begin.

So I got a kit from DDM tuning, havnt had issues yet, fingers crossed. Been probley at least 6 months. The kit you go with is your preference. Went with a 6000k 35w kit. H1 bulbs.

Just wanna say, I dont hold any responsibility for what happens while attempting a HID install, just my experience I thought id share with yall.

stock projector light.


So first you wanna expose the internals of the light, and disconnect, the connectors.


remove the stock bulb. Should be able to slide it out, might be a small clip holding it in.


You wanna cut a hole in the rubber backing so you can put the wiring/bulb through it, my kit came with a grommet to use after the hole was cut. then you can try to put the HID bulb in the housing, if it doesnt go in with ease, stop, widen the slot. Mine was way tight, had to open it up with the dremel.


Insert light, along with clips. insert spades to connectors, crimp.



run wiring to ballast, and mount ballast. I used zipties, and they have held up find, be sure to check fitment after a few rides.
Right

Left


Ballast should have one side going to the bulb, and one side connected to the stock light power source.

make sure everything is plugged up and you should be good to go.
