    Nice job Steve..I think your pics show the difference before and after very clearly . It will make a huge difference to your night riding in the shiddy weather we get .

    And YES it always rains when fitting a HID kit ... And anything else involving removing the fairings....

    Very nice comparison photos, Steve K. I already have an HID kit on mine, but still love to see pics of the before and after.

    A lot of the members here got theirs from Xenonking .. Great people to deal with...You only need the low beam kit..It runs cooler than stock bulbs...

    And it always rains when fitting it....

    Any quality or performance differences between the Phillips and the McColloch products?

    Maybe the 07 we come epuipped with HID.
    If you're not living close to the edge, then you're taking up too much space.

    You add two ballast if you choose and replace both bulbs. You can decide to do either or.

    Which Kit did you install, and I must be wrong But I thought you didnt have to remove the headlight cowl to install a HID, or is it just Easier to do the job by removing it. Jon (Loomis).

    I did not remove the nose when i did mine.

    It seems though you may have some better mounting options for the boxes instead of on the ram tunnels if you do pull the nose.
