HID Lights...not for the weak of heart

So I absolutely LOVE HID lights (as long as they aren't in my rear view mirror) and have lusted after a set for my bike for some time.  I recently purchased a quite affordable set at DDM Tuning, but be advised they aren't the smallest set on the market so make sure you have space for it or somewhere to hide the parts. Just FYI I bought the 35W 6000k set, I guess the 55W 8000k is very popular but a little too blue for my taste.

Because of my earlier fuse block install and running spare wires up into the headlight basket I was able to just solder the power wire to the fuse block wire and have a much cleaner look.  Now the power wire is soldered and zip tied up under the tank. The picture is before the clean up (I ran out of single wire shrink tubing hence the electrical tape)

The red power wire in the above picture is coming from the Hi/Lo box which I secured on the other side of the frame, I also moved the relay for the horn back some so it isn't so visible with the tank installed.  The wires go up front are to the ballast and the headlight itself.  For any eagle eyes, yes there is an extra wire in there.  Apparently to save money this kit would actually work on a car if I bought another ballast and light bulb so it had another set of leads I had to tuck away inside the headlight housing.

Next is the ballast, I have the fairing on the bike and the ballast gets really hot so I decided to place it where wind can cool it some and still be hidden away.  Another option is to place on the frame under the tank but I would have had more wires hanging out than I like so this works perfectly.

Here are the boxes all cleaned up and secured, I did not get pictures of the light because in my garage it is very distorted looking but I will get some up soon.  With the additional mod to my running lights to LED bulbs I have very clean, white light that will definitely get noticed.
