I got a few questions. 1. Did you have to run a relay for hi/low beam? 2. Whats the size of the slim balast? I’m tight on room. 3. How much wiring is there? ---

If you are doing a Hi/Lo bulb there will be a little more wiring than normal because there should be a relay but if you are doing a plug and play kit, there’s not much. Slim ballast is very small i’d say maybe 4"x4" and about half an inch thin ---

Ive got 4 projectors on my bike. The 2 outside projectors are Low beam HID’s, the 2 inside projectors are High Beam Halogens. I have standard ballast, and I hid them behind my windscreen (its dark smoked). The Low beam was plug and play, very easy. ---

[DDMtuning.com](http://DDMtuning.com) end of story as far as HID’s go. i bought 8k for mine with the slim ballast, plus they are plug and play for $74 shipped to my house, they are by far the best value for your buck ! ---

Ya, I was thinking about building a headlight for the pan. I can get a round shell for 20 bucks but my front end is 100% open with the exction of a fork tool pouch I could hide some stuff in. ---

> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > What if you fabbed up a mini housing box, paint it quick and throw it somewhere inconspicuous on the bike? I ordered a blank head light housing today, should see it tues. My buddy has some slim ballast laying around I can use for fitment. I’m having other issues with the bike right now, Trans lever is hitting the oil bag.
