Yesterday my box of goodies arrived from Bikevis.com.
HID for the low beam and Cree auxillary lights.
The cree lights went in very easy, control box sat in the ABS module area, wiring went in piece of cake, good instructions. Lights came with their own bracket which secure to the underside of mudguard fairing using bike own screws. Bloody bright good bit of kit.
Next up is the HID for the low beam.
Good instructions although not designed for the bike but still good.
Before ripping things about I tested the kit just to make sure.
Next in was the HID bulb, went in no probs. Then the problems(minor) started. I had to drill out the rear of the headlight dustcover then work out how to attach wires in a tidy fashion.
Mission accomplised. Ballast box next. Its quite large compared to others.
Did try and place it in the ABS bay but wires where a bit short :nenau so one coke and lots of head scratching it was placed in the 'A' under the top yoke, where the front shock meets. The horn has been moved a over a bit to allow this.
Guess what, after all that it all works as intended.
Over the next few days we shall see if all is well or something goes tits up.
I did take a few pictures during install and after, as usual not even anywhere near to uploading!
:clap
 
The Cree Aux lights look good, I may get a pair myself. I assume they are legal in UK for day and night use including city riding?

Let us know how they go and please post some pics. I'd be interested to see where you placed the control box and if they come on and off automatically after 20 secs like the instructions say.

How did you get the wiring back to the battery? Did you need to remove the tank?

Cheers, Mike
 
Would like to see some pics if you have some.

They are still going strong although the small nuts that hold them in the cradle are now rusting (I probably cuased this when I tightened them with pliers and removed some of the black coating).

I have not got around to installing a switch yet which means I need to remove the fuse each time I plug in the battery charger which is a bit of a pain in the butt. I'd recommend them.
