That would be a question that cbzdel could answer, but he hasn't been online in a week. Send him a PM and he might be able to help you out.Question, My kit came in today and I noticed there were two ballast.. I have no idea how to install this thing and the instructions don't help that much...
So do I have to use both ballast or just one?

I just installed it with both. My Hi and Low beams work, I think if you just install one then it's just the Low Beam.You just need one. If they are attached (mine were), they suggested just cutting one off.
It took you six hours?! I had gotten the impression it was a little harder than changing the bulb and mounting the ballast. Was it more involved? I've been contemplating this mod for awhile. You still doing a how-to write up for this?Finally! Finished after 6 hours!
You must have gotten a different model of light, then. Mine is one bulb that moves forward to re-focus as the hi-beam.I just installed it with both. My Hi and Low beams work, I think if you just install one then it's just the Low Beam.
The little white/black connector is the switch btw.
Use a 5/16" (or a 8mm I think) socket and you can reach the up/down adjustment without removing anything. It looks like a dull quarter with a 5/16" nut in the middle. I was able to hand adjust it grabbing onto the socket. I just raised mine up a bit. I put my bike on the rear stand and put up a piece of tape at the top of where the light beam is before adjusting to give me the starting point. I then adjusted the beam line to about 1 inch about the tape for starters. Tomorrow when I ride in the early morning darkness, I'll see if that was enough for me.Paid off, for sure, now I just gotta re-aim my headlights... hopefully I don't have to remove all those fairings again?
Thanks! I'll give that a go tomorrow. I took the day off for tomorrow so I can go riding...

Yeah just about, from 3:34 PM to 9:17. Was dark by the time I tried to put my fairings back on.It took you six hours?!
