Yes, its a bietch, but you must remove the clip, then slide the xenon bulb in the back, then pop the 2 tabs from the clip, all together,

What HID setup are you using??? I am looking into a philips/hella 3rd or 4th generation ballast but I dont think the ignitor will fit in the circle cut-out. Please let me know what you have, because im dying for some HID on my xfire

DO you any any pictures of the components?? Reason I am asking, the kit that I was considering buying has plugs that connect the bulb to the ballast/ignitor that are about 12" long and the plug is on a 90 degree angle.. I dont think it will fit into the opening for the bulbs. The web site that you linked didnt show any pics. I want something that can accept philips brand bulbs because I want a totally stock HID look. Any ideas for me??? Thanks

The others do work, however they require slight modification. If you are buying new get the H7 kit. I think I'm going to transfer the lights I have now to the bike and get 2 new kits. One set for head lamps and one set for the fogs.

I had hid's in my old car. I wasn't about to spend another $650 on a kit so I modified them to fit in the housings. Much more of a pain in the *** to install. Took over an hour to get the clip on the passenger side.

Note: I think I removed some coolant related **** to get better access to the passenger light.
