HID Projector Help

[Db52280]

Hey guys I posted this question in another part of the forum, but felt like this is a better spot for it. I am in the process of installing HID projectors on my 2005 fz6 the harness that came with my kit has 4 wires (2 pair) that connect to the existing headlight harness. These 4 wires go into the controller than splits to the two ballasts. I am trying to make both headlights work on low and high beam. Thanks for any help you can provide. For some reason I can only post one pic at a time

The black with green tracer is your headlamp low beam. It will not shut off during high beam and can be used directly as the signal to turn on the HID ballasts. This wire is not active until the engine is running so don't be puzzled if you turn the key on and see no voltage. Start the motor..

The black with yellow tracer wire on the other plug is the high beam wire and can be used to operate your high beam shutter.

The wire that powers your HID transformers should go direct to your battery with an inline fuse.

I can only assume this is the type setup you're installing. If you are not using a high/low beam cutoff shutter type lamp I wouldn't install it because you will get a ticket or have to aim them so low they won't work well at all.

Can you give more info on you system?

Here is the ebay link to the system I purchased. I think you nailed it There is a red wire that goes directly to battery which also goes to the controller which looks like a relay. The 4 wires I am questioning also go to the controller.

So the 2 black - Ground
Blue - Low or High Beam?
White - Low or High Beam?

Description says that they fit h4 h1 and h7. How is it possible? Usually you can buy a version for one type bulbs only and fz6 has two different types.

There should be instructions to tell you which wire goes where. I can tell you what color wire does what on the FZ6 but your kit should tell you what their wires go to. If it gets tuff I'm here in SD! Lol!

I think the H4,H1 and H7 compatibility have to do with switch/light function and not bulb type since it is a projector kit. The projector kit does not use a reflector and uses one HID lamp.

It comes with adapter plates to fit both h4 and h7.

Yes, I know that, BUT the whole projector goes inside the headlight, instead of the H4/H7 bulb. And these bulbs have different mounting sizes. That's what makes me wonder. But on the photos I see some strange things - adapters maybe?

You've managed to reply before me So it seems like a nice deal, worth thinking about. Good luck with the mount!

The quality of the kit is really nice. This is a really easy mod to do, I just have a tendency to way over think things. I'm going to hook up the last 4 wires this evening I will post how it goes.

 

[Db52280]

Got it! Blue is High Beam and White is Low Beam. I will post pictures after I wrap everything up.

Finished the install. Word of advice make sure you have the projector/ shutter in the right direction. On mine there was no indication of direction but I found a "line" on the angel eye to indicate direction. This was after completely reassembling and trying to adjust. The line goes toward the bottom of the headlight for anyone who buys the same kit. Here are some final assembly images. I will post some night images soon.

Looks good. that's funny they didn't give you an indication on the projectors which side is up. The Morimoto Projectors I recommend have a groove in them that can only be installed in an H4/H7 lamp right side up.

Best modification you can do on a bike if you ride at night.
Lets see some pictures of these turned on at night, and aimed at a wall! :thumbup:

How are you guys securing the projectors to the OEM reflector? This requires chopping out a sizable section from the mole yes? Anyone do any close up pictures of the fitment?

If you use the Morimoto mini (H1) HID projectors you can install them in H7 or H4 reflectors without cutting the hole, you only have to trim off the tabs that used to secure the metal clips that held the original bulbs. The projector stem fits through the existing bulb hole perfectly. Best projector on the market that fits in the FZ6 headlight.

As far as I know you put the projector from the front. You remove the plastic (or whatever it is) transparent front part of the headlight (by heating it up), put the projector inside through the bulb hole and screw it from the back side of the headlight with a special nut.

Its that easy? I had no idea! So its nearly a bolt in? Can the mole ever hole a H4/7 bulb again once trimmed? Or is it, no turning back?

I have 2 3Five ballasts which are sitting here doing nothing.... Being as tiny as they are, I may have give this more consideration! Perhaps you recall this --> http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-electrical/51497-35-watt-hid-ballast-current-4-0-amps.html
