Thanks bhinch; My bike is just like yours only blue...so I will go with that kit. Now if I can find an up to date web site. Seems like a lot of them are out dated and I know nothing about eBay. Thanks again.

One more thing before I buy my HID kit. I was going to go 6000K but will 8000K be OK or will it be too hot and meld something? Thanks to all for your help.

I think I found my own answer: Xenon Headlight Color Temperature 6000K: Xenon bulbs - 6000K has an approximately 3200lm output, which is 3x the light output of the traditional halogen light and slightly less light output compared to the 5000K. Although it has a bit lesser light output, it emits pure whiter light with very slight and barely noticeable tint of blue and purple.
Xenon Headlight Color Temperature 8000K: Xenon bulbs - 8000K has an approximately 2900lm output, which is about 3x the light output of the traditional halogen light and slightly less light output compared to the 6000K. While it has a bit lesser light output, it emits bluer light than the 6000K.
Please note: most customers have a common misconception that the higher the K (Kelvin temperature) the brighter it gets, but in fact, it is the opposite. The K rating is inversely proportional to the light output, therefore the lower the K the brighter the light output. Also Xenon runs cooler and than your traditional halogen, therefore it will not melt your housing.

Well I thought I had this light thing all figured out. My 6000K kit came today(my 87th birthday by the way)and took it all out the box and have no idea what the....stuff is. I have, in the past, DLd a whole bunch of wiring diagrams soooo I will get some of my retired electric friends to help me on it. Here goes nothing.
