    I just bought the H4 HI/LO kit from DDM. The kit comes with a wiring harness. I haven't installed it yet, but it seems very easy. They also have instructions on their website. The only problem will be getting all the wiring to fit.

          Except for the fact that all the extra light you gain from an HID system is wasted and just scattered all over the road. Not to mention blinding other drivers with the horrible dazzle.

                  I have the RFS kit for my Jeep.. I just need to mod the housings.. I cant stand the HID kits that just throw a bunch of random light that blinds other.. It's great that you can get that much light.. but not safe for drivers in the oppsite direction.

                    The '14 had Projector beam light housings from the factory. It was made for HID installation, even though it came with standard lights. Consequently, the bike had none of these issues when I installed my kit 4 years ago. -Still running well.

                        Sounds like a bi-xenon install...

                          And keeping the questions to the same resource for future curious minds, any insight also about how the solenoid on bi-xenon projectors integrates?

                            If you have a projector with a solenoid then you go with a standard D1S or D2S bulb, not one with a piezo to move the bulb. The projector solenoid moves a shutter. At low beam (solenoid not energized) the shutter cuts off the light from the bottom half of the reflector. Energize the solenoid and it tilts the shutter forward, allowing light from the bottom of the reflector to project through the lens and giving you your high beam.
                            Wherever you go... There you are!
