Did you split the rubber gaiter behind the lamp or what? I'm sure there is a 'proper' solution, just wondering what it was

Can anyone that has fitted HIDs just gimme a tip on how they routed the wires into the headlight assembly to the bulb and kept the whole lot watertight. When I wired up for some 100w bulbs I drilled some holes and used some gromits which was fine, but the HIDs have those big special connectors and would not pass through a gromit size hole - or if the hole was big enough to pass the connectors, the gromit wouldn't be tight around the wire.

Hi JAson
The kit that I fitted ( thanks again Adam
) had a gromit on the actual control line so all I had to do was make a small hole and then stretch it every so slightly to get the connector through then the grommet sealed the hole nicely.
Let me know if you want some pics of the install ....

ps. You will not believe the difference

Keep it sticky side down.

Looks like a small incision in the gaiter is the way to go then - I'd appreciate any installation type pics though. Taking a closer look, the bulb leads have an inline gromit that will go nicely in the gaiter - result.
And Gus... no mate, I can't wait. With all the shit on the roads, this nasty fine drizzle and slippery roads I need all the help I can get.

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you ride fast.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.

OK Question 2 for all you sparky geniuses (or should that be geniui?)
If I have a black wire and a white wire (US), and my brown and yellow to the bulb - which goes to which, or don't you think it matters It may just need to complete a circuit in the ignitor.
I've had a look at some sites and think the brown goes to black, but I just dunno.......

Where did you fit the ballast then please? There are a few places I can put it but I was wondering how hot it got - I don't want to stick it on the petrol tank then find it glows at 200 degreesboxerpan wrote:Sorry Jason, can't remember much about it........must have bin ver,ver,ver,ver ver drunk
If it's going to get toasty I need to keep it away from the other wiring tooI reckon I'll probably get some thick velcro and mount it down inside the faring somewhere out of harms way - looks to be nice and watertight and the wires are long enough
