I have just fitted the HID conversion as supplied by Nippy Normans
I used Coolcarbon's pictorial guide which can be found

However I am not so technogically able as Coolcarbon
so I thought I would post some answers to the questions I had as I fitted it
First of all the bigger of the two head lights is the dipped one.
The dipped headlight is where the expensive and well cacooned bulb with a bit it wire running down the side will go.
You do not need to remove any screws from the beak to fit the lights.
You also do not need to remove the instrument panel.
If you do it will just take you longer to do the job
When tou cut a hole in the cap of the dipped headlight cover - You twist this cover to remove the existing bulb from the back make it as small as possible. This is because you be looking down at it for the next 30000 miles. If it a mass of filler it will not look nice
This cover has three cut outs which fit the three lugs on the body of the headlight housing. It can in theory only go on one way. However when you find the other way to fit it it will take longer to remove it again.. So use a torch to look at the lugs and cut outs.
You must remember to bring the yellow wire out from inside the cap. The brown one can stay inside.
The yellow wire joins to the longest new wire (end is also yellow) which runs from the big silver box which you are about to fit.
The big silver box does not fit easily anywhere.
It is a pig to fix.
It will not fit as coolcarbon suggests.
You will use velcro pads (which you bought at the same time as the silicone)
The cable ties supplied by NN.
It will still rock about but you will eventually decide that it will not fall off.
The small black box which is supposed to fit on the shelf behind the lights - sticky pads already attached to it, does indeed fit there. BUT if you put it too far foward or two far to the side it will foul the caps on the headlights.
PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE AND AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE
The smaller bulbs supplied by NN are direct replacements for the mainbeam and side light.
The side light bulb does not fit in the holder very easily. It seems to be a little bigger than the original.
Mine also blew immedialtely after I had fitted everything back. It was a pig to get out again. The original bulb was replaces and is working happily.
For both the main beam and the dipped you have to replace the original connections. The white connection is for the mainbeam and side light. The black connection is for the dipped.
If you do not reconnect them the new bulbs will not work. So do not think they are redundant and can be cut off.
When you refit the tank you will knock off the throttle cable. The bike will backfire, run on one cylinder and generally sound rough.
This will solve it http://tinyurl.com/g2st9
There is far too much cable so buy yourself a few more cable ties and try to hide it away under the tank somewhere.
By the way you do not need to remove the tank completely.
The single bolt holding it on is under your right thigh (as you sit on the bike) behind the pull off black plastic panel running under the tank.
You have to pull it hard to get it off.
There is a nut on the inside of the bolt - do not lose it.
The lights themselves.
Well pleased I am.
However I am now going to look for a thread as to how to readjust the headlights.
As I discovered the screws are for adjusting the lights angle not removing them!!!!
The lights are held on with torx screws.
It took me four to five hours. That included all the unnecessary sodding around. If you were a good mechanic - it should take 90 minutes.
Best of luck

Just got back from riding the bike around some unlit twisty country lanes.
It was at times like riding during the day. My speed was higher than any other night time riding. Even the main beam seemed much better ( a new bulb ispart of the kit)
Confidence so high that had to take care as approaching sharper corners as speed also high.
Great piece of kit and I still do not look like a refugee from a car accessory shop
