Which kit did you buy? I don't know anything about those so I can't make any real suggestions... Just let us know which one to avoid :)

Thats the wrong kit, I have never even heard of a kit like that.. I have heard of a HID low beam and a halogen high beam but never what you described..

yea i have an HID bright and a halogen low coul i mayber have the wires crossed to where the HID should be coming on low and the halogen high? i mean its pretty cool having both because the halogen is easier seen during the day but i just didnt understand why it was the bright that was the HID

Yeah you got the standard hid kit. I know you already bought it and all but if can return it and replace it with bi-xenon kit in where you got both high and low bulb all in one, and they are both HID's which are bright on low or high. Or you should just get a bi-xenon bulb since you already have the balaster. They cost a little more but are much better overall.

will a different type of bulb work with the ballast hookup or does it have to be brand specific?

cbzdel and I got our kits from DDM Tuning. It's a high/low kit that has a mechanism that refocuses the bulb for the hi-beam. It's a little more than the standard kit, but means that you don't have to wait for the other beam to warm up before it's useful.

Personally, I mounted the ballast under the "intake" plastics on the right side. It's stuck to the white fairing with double-stick tape with the black fairing mounted over it. This will keep it in place if the tape fails, and makes the "intake" useful since it will flow the air to keep the ballast cooler.

HID lights

Definitely want to upgrade the light cuz it's useless right now! Which one is the correct one to buy...the $42.50 or the $70.00 one? Did anyone do a write up on how to install it? If so, please direct me to it.

Thanks!
