Well, it is about time. Things have been sitting on your work bench for two weeks...OMG.

Now, install the high beam HIDs too, and that will really light up the night.:shock:

You can see the difference between your HID low beams, and your stock high beams. That is why I installed all four as HIDs.

BTW, good placement of your Ride Bell. Mine is in the same location.:shhh:

I might do the high beams over the Winter I haven't decided yet, I heard they were a lot of fun to install! Would the high beams just be another standard hid kit like I just installed?

Basically...YES. I do not know where you bought yours, but I got mine from SoCalMoto, @...SoCalMoto.com, and they sell the WingHIDs as a two light set for $ 165.00, or a four light set for $ 299.00. I thought about it, and decided to go with the four light set. Yeah...the high beams were more difficult to install, but the entire project...doing all 4 lights at one time, took me 2.5 hours, from beginning to end.

Lol....I got my 2 light set with adapters for $73 shipped! I've used this kit on 3 different bikes now and the last one was still going strong after 4 years when I sold the bike. All plug & play easy as pie. Only modification that had to be done was to trim a little off the side of the adapter, took 3 minutes for both. I will have all 4 lights for less than that 2 light kit. Don't hate! lol......:icon_mrgreen:

That's more like it! Mine has a 2 year warranty. I had sticker shock when I started researching what hid kits the Gold Wingers were using on the other board. I couldn't believe they were paying $160 for a 2 bulb kit. I spent a good bit of time fortunately in the past on my other bikes finding a high quality plug and play kit so I already knew what I was going to use.

For the guys that installed HID's did you install (not sure what it is called)the cut off wire? So when your starting the bike they are not on (again
not sure what it does exactly)

Yes...I know that Steve and I both did install the low beam cut-out relay, from EC, to delay the starting of our HID lights, until the engine starts.

And Giddyup...Don't hate! lol......( I hate you man):icon_wink: I will admit that I paid the full price for my 4 HID lights, but then again...your tax dollars paid for them, for me, so I ain't bitchin':icon_mrgreen:
