"Ok , by popular request , I am going to explain step by step , who to get the kit from , which one to get and how to install, All I want is credit for this idea!!! ok, here goes! get the kit from this guy on ebay ( I am in no way affiliated or get kick backs or anything ) it's just , I have found no one cheaper thats it! his screen name is ( super_digi ) look under H.I.D. Light kits. so you order an "H-3" kit, I run a 8000k version thats the color of the light which is blueish, by no means do you touch the bulb!!! take headlight assembly out disconnect the plugs that goes to the lights, take front light case off from the back cover, now take the main bulb out, get pliers and yank bulb out, yes, (break it) you dont need it anymore, once bulb is out get a drill bit ( I used a 1/2 uni bit) and drill the center of the stock socket from the back ( this is to feed the wires of the light bulb through) super glue the new bulbs bottom ring to the "edge" of the stock socket you guttedmeaning you want the bulb sticking into the light reflector as far inside as possible, the get " rtv" red silicone at any auto parts store and fill in all the open spacing around wires on the back side of the socket this will make it water tight and will hold the bulbs heat well. ok everything else is going to be plug and play except for the original plug that went into the the original bulb which you need to snip it off...you are going to have (3) wires one black (which is negative) one red with a yellow stripe thats your low beam. the 3rd one you will not use, its your high beam! these lights are so bright you do not need a high beam trust me!!! so connect the black wire from the original harness to the black wire to the ballast, and the red with yellow stripe wire to the red that goes to your ballast, repeat these procedures to the other side then mount you ballast as high as possible under your plastics and tie rap them to your frame ( high and dry) . you should be good to go.... for those not fimiliar with H.I.D.'s they flicker when first turned on (thats normal) and within 3-4 seconds they burn at full intensity...you will not believe how bright these babies are!!! and finally the present cost of the kit itself is 106.00 shipped....there is no one that I know of that make this kit for our bikes... I just sold a raptor 700r and was contemplating getting a kit for it and never did, however someone in.... HE ALSO SELLS A KIT FOR HI AND LO BEAM   this was posted months ago all you have to do is use the search button  thanks Defender Bob....
