Bulbs aren't any bigger, just going to have to tuck away a ballast in a spot that gets decent airflow. Something like this, don't even need bi-xenon. Just if the seller gives you options for the bulbs get 5000K, best visible light output. It's as close to natural light. If they have 4300K go with that, 5000K go with that, but don't go over 6000K. That color temp is where it starts getting too much of a blue tint then close to 10000K more purple and really sucks for visibility if the roads are wet. And 10x worse on black asphalt that is wet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fk-35W-Motor...85028c&vxp=mtr And JDM, get a different headlight. If you have no lens you are just going to explode headlight bulbs.

What kind of headlight bracket did you use to hold the HID Bulb in place, was it something you rigged up?

None just the same way you do it if you try swapping the bulbs to something like a standard H3 halogen. Best thing in my opnnion to use is make a custom bracket and use projector lens lamps for fog lights. Like $30 on ebay. So like $60-70 and you have a projector HID headlight. Wish I took pics of how I did that on some other bikes and how I converted my cyclops when I had it.

These projector lenses, then just buy an H3 HID kit and rig it up however your heart desires.

Here are some examples
This shows how the HID bulb is fitted to the cyclops.

alright so im gon spring the money and buy a legit good headlight off of moto maddness. great local guy who always hooks me up. im going to pick it up tomorrow or friday.

now for the wiring. i want to wire to a toggle switch but not really sure how.

[Moto-Madness.com]

I would wire it into your regula wiring harness but just put the toggle switch on the hot in between the light and wiring harness.

[Str8JDM]

i burnt the shit out my regular harness when i wired these 55w bulbs in the knockoff light. just took me 2 days to repair and i dont want to tap into repaired wires...

so only the hot needs to be wired to a toggle. ahhh i see now. ground just goes from headlight to a ground source. duh. i dont know why i had a brain fart

[broham]

or go to the fuse box so that the lights turn off when the key is off

[Moto-Madness.com]

depends on what type of switch it is.
