I've received my H4 Bi-Xenon 6000K Motorcycle HID Kit.
In the box, it's perfect...
When you prepare the installation, some requests arrive !
I've send a mail to Xenonlink and I wait the replies :

1) In the box, I've a hardness with a bi-xenon controller. It was not mentionned on the website page : http://www.xenonlink.com/product_info.php?products_id=90 but they speak about a relay wire hardness (not in my box) .
I wait the reply.

2) On this delivered hardness, I've one wire for connection to the battery, other to the ground, two wires to ballasts for lamps 1 and 2 (but in my kit I've one ballast and it's normal because I've one high/low Lamp) and one other wire (with a connector and three pins).
Where this last connector with three pins is connected ? (see pic)
I wait the reply.

3) they are no end caps for the connectors of the second wire to ballast (unuseable on my bike) ?

I've read this link but I've not seen my connector with three pins : http://www.hid-light.com/install/install.html
I'll inform you and I'll put pics of the installation.

The three pin connector plugs into your OEM connector that use to plug into the headlamp.

I had and use no relay in my twin headlight assembly.

Ok, I plug the three pins connector into the plug's headlamp

That means the controller is fixed near the headlamp (lenght of the wire for the tree pins connector) but the wire connected to the battery from the controller is not enough long to go to the battery.

Sure, I understand not something !

so much for plug and play

I think my wire is fine for a car with a battery and 2 headlamps in the same place but on a bike it's different with the headlamp in front of and the battery under the seat.

I've the option : 2 headlamps for the same price !  , but I know not where I'll put the second headlamp on my fairing.....

I did not run the power wire to my battery. With my SERG there was a hot and ground wire already in the wiring harness that is not used. It is for the Euro bikes with the little light between the headlights. I cut/spliced/extended nothing.

I see you ordered a Bi-Xenon kit which is a hi and low beam all in one bulb (I think). Don't the new bikes run seperate bulbs for hi and low?

Thanks, I'll look for a free hot and ground wire in my fairing. 
All will be put in the fairing. It'll be not necessary to dismount my tank or my seat.

The HDI models have not the dual lamps in the headlamp.
We've one bubble for high and low beams (H4).
I think it's only a problem of add cost with the dual because  the japanese sport bikes have two headlamps and separate bulbs.

Nothing replace the experience, Thanks !

Ahh the International models...........

I received my second order of three sets of Bi-Xenon HID's. Now I have to get motivated and install them in the various vehicles.

i think the kits are for autos. figure it out and add a little here and terminate another and viola.

i did run a dedicated power source myself. the oem plug is for the bulb solenoid high/low. on my setup.

love the light.

i have not installed this brand.

bisounours, the SERG has a power/ground connector that is used for the international daytime running lights that is unused for the American versions.  If you follow your headlight harness down from where it connects to the bulb toward the bike you will see two wires tied up about mid-way down.  One is typically covered with a cap.  That one is +12vdc.  The other is ground.  They are on when the ignition is on, so you can use these as a power source.  You can connect to them using a standard spade connection.  You will not have to modify any factory wiring.

I installed HID lights on my bike form Xeonlink as well, but I decided to go with the 9005 version (http://www.xenonlink.com/product_info.php?cPath=34_57&products_id=78) instead of the bi-xenon.  I like the fact that bi-xenon is xenon all of the time, but in realty you don't need high-beams when you have HID low.  The reason I did this is for redundancy.  If the xenon bulb goes out you can run with the high-beams and have both bulbs.  The highs also change the color to normal (sometimes the xenon is actually too bright).

Here's a before picture with the OEM headlights on low-beam...

[Jim Kerr]

Here's one after I installed xenon lights.  They shed so much light that my camera had more light available to expose the pic.  The instrument panel came out brighter.  This was taken in the same location...

And this is what it looks like when I'm coming at ya...

I wonder if this is why people move out of my way?

On one of my bikes I run The HID in the HI beem spot and I left the Low beem a standard halogen bulb. This way when I'm following someone I can run the low beem and not blind them. (It sure is dark with a halogen bulb   )
