    Can someone please please help.

    I've installed some HID Angel eyes on an 06 blade, but I've come to a bit of a hurdle.
    I've got 2 wires to connect to the high/low beam on the bike to get the HIDS to work.
    According to the manual the wires on the loom are blue & blue/white, but I can't find them on the loom.

    I've had a quick look on YouTube & even watched lambchops instal video, but his in an earlier model.

    Has anyone else installed a set & can tell me where I wire the last two wires too.
    Once these are in, its job done.

    Yeah I got HID's on my RR5.
    Can you not just wire them up to the plugs for the old H7 bulbs? I did.

    Ooh, didn't think of that. Thanks, I'll try that.

    Did you put your halo rings on a separate switch, so you have the option to turn them on or off?

    Ahh, I only have the HIDS, no Angel eyes.
    If they're just 12v then the feed for them can either be taken from the sidelight bulb wire if you want them on with the ignition, or you could choose another switched supply.
    Personally I'd run the supply off the sidelight connector and maybe add an inline switch.

    Ah ok. Yeah I was thinking inline switch, that way I have the option of when I have them on.

    Well I've finally got them working. But only one side works .
    I've took a feed from both low beam hid lights to the low beam bike connection. When I take a feed from both the high beam hid lights to the high beam bike connection, it says that the high beam is on the dash, but still only one like is one. And the other annoying thing is, I can't switch between the high/low beam.

    Do I need a separate switch or is there something I'm missing?

    Unless both lamps have a high and low beam then you will only have the low side on with ignition and the other one will light up when you switch the high beam on. Is the low beam side not working?

    They were advertised as duel high & duel low beam.
    They lights work, but the high/low switch doesn't activate the high beam either.
    And the light that's on, I don't know whether it's on high or low because the switch doesn't work. But when I reconnect the factory lights it all works, so I know the switch isn't buggered.

    So do both sides of the new lights have a high and low beam and can you get high and low to light up at all?
    If not then it sounds like they may be single HIDS like mine that replace the old H7 bulbs where one side is dipped and the other is high beam.

    I could probably figure it out more quickly in person. Fancy a trip to Lincoln :D

    I can't tell because the lights are either on or off, lol. I just know it's bright, but then I've never seen HIDS before. That's the thing, it's a bit difficult to know without seeing it, lol.
    At the minute, both low beam wires on the HIDS are connected to the low beam + on the bike and both high beam HID wires are connected to the high beam + on the bike.
    Tomorrow I'm gonna try connecting a low & high beam HID wire to both the low & high beam + on the bike and see what happens.

    Lincoln, now there's a road trip.
