How to Install Xenon Hid - Yamaha r6 2003 - 2010

Hi, Phil with XenonSupply.com the automotive lighting source. today we have a 2004 Yamaha R6 that we'll be doing an HID conversion on both the low beam and the high beam let's take a look at the tools we need to complete this installation the Yamaha R6 uses an H7 style bulb here we have a standard Xenon supply kit it comes with the two H7 bulbs 4300K two ballasts and the wire harnesses for them the tools we'll need are a ten millimeter socket and socket wrench a philips head screwdriver a 5/32 allen wrench and optional a Step drill for the grommet in order to get access to the headlights we need to remove a small portion of the fairing this will require the 5/32nd allen wrench and removal of these two bolts here now the removal and installation process are the same on both sides you should be able to lift up should come out and you'll have access to the headlights in order to get access to the ballast mounting location we're gonna have to remove the front windscreen now there are four bolts here and here as well as four ten millimeter bolts holding the mirrors on that need to be removed lets go ahead and do that now that the mirrors are removed we can get the four screws on the front and this thing comes right out once you take out the last screw the wind screen should come up because the new HIDs have wires that run outside of the headlight housing we're going to need to drill a one inch hole into the dust cover with the step drill or a one-inch hole saw and make room for the grommet that's going to keep the dust and moisture out now this is an optional installation step some people choose not to do it we recommend that you do we've got our one inch hole drilled and will be running these wires through and attaching the grommet and the grommet should pull through and rest right there we can now go ahead and install the new HID bulb in order to remove the old halogen bulbs you need to first remove the H7 connector jiggle it and pull back it should come out there's a retaining clip here that you need to push and pull away and that should release go ahead and remove the H7 bulb put that somewhere safe now the new H7 bulb for the HID can go in just the same make sure you get the retaining clip back on and snap it on tight now the H7 connector here typically the left side is the power wire and the right side is the ground wire go ahead and connect the corresponding wires now if you have problems with your HID kit and they're not turning on the first step to look at is your wiring here you may have to flip them just because some of the manufacturers don't necessarily follow the same diagram click that in you should be able to get the dust cover back on twist and lock now these wires here are going to be traveling underneath the mounting location of the ballast so let's go ahead and get the ballast mounted in order to mount the new ballast we're going to be using the supplied mounting brackets go ahead and take the long piece place it underneath and clip it to the top section and bring it down there is a phillips head screw and nut that we will be using to attach the two pieces together go ahead and tighten that one you should be good to go we'll be mounting the ballast on either side of the wire harnesses leading up to gauge cluster as you can see we've already taken the HID wiring from the bulbs and brought them through the center here you are going to want to route the longer cable from the ballast through as well as connect the cable here make sure it snaps into place and go ahead and rest it in do the same with the second one now we'll be zip tying the two of these ballasts together as you can see I've gone ahead and bent the mounting brackets inward to make room for the front shield as you can see we've gone ahead and secured the ballast in place they're nice and tight they're not going anywhere the next step is to take the wires coming from the ballast and attach it to the HID you're going to want to make sure to take the supplied zip ties and secure all your wiring in place so that as you turn the wheel they're not binding any spot it's also a good idea to make sure you test your wires now your installation to make sure your HIDs work before putting the fairing back together lets tgo ahead and test these lights
