    Sorry to hijack your post twodogs, but if anyone is interested I do have a secondhand bulb kit from HIDS4U up for grabs.

    If anyone is interested drop me a pm & I'll send you the details of the kit.

    You will be fine mate, it is more like a plug and play unit

    The hardest part is trying to find a place to mount the ballast and ingniter box

    You can free up some space for ballast by removing the intake flapper gubbings and/or fitting a li-ion battery.

    As far as I know the hid bulb doesn't get as hot as a normal 55w. But I could be wrong.

    I've fitted them in many bikes and never had anything melt yet!!
