637 viewsLooking down into the bulb housing cavity. The reflector will need to be moved forward just a tad, like a couple millimeters, to clear the taller HID bulb. If you get flickering or the bulb doesn't light up after installing the HID bulb then chances are good that the bulb is touching the reflector and shorting out.

635 viewsPut some blue Loctite on the bolt threads and snug the new cover back on. No need to be a gorilla and wrench down! The blue Loctite will insure the bolts don't back out. Here it is, installed.

633 viewsAll connected. Use the Bentley wiring diagram to assist but this is basically how it's wired. Remember, you're simply replacing the vibrator with the VR and using a resistor pack in-line with the fuel gauge sender to bring the voltage down to a reasonable level.
+12V (black wire from gauge cluster) -> VR -> gauge -> resistor pack -> tank sender (brown w/black stripe wire)

631 viewsBreather line re-installed and bracket re-mounted with both oil lines now inside. Now connect the line to the top of the oil cooler and tighten the bottom connection. The connections are snugged to 24 ft-lbs -- that's not very tight so go easy! Again, use both 19mm wrenches to tighten things. Also, smear engine oil on the O-rings before slipping them into the connector. Make sure the insertion is straight and smooth as you do NOT want to tear or pinch them!

624 viewsHow the HID bulb looks when installed. It can only go in one way so it's pretty easy. Don't do it now as we need to get the electronics installed first!

623 viewsThe bulb connector pulls straight off. Notice that it is one unit. The high-beam bulb has one connector on the bulb and a separate one on the bulb holder. The high-beam bulb is also smaller. Thus it's easy to determine which bulb is which. However, to give yourself some additional maneuvering room, you may want to disconnect the high-beam connectors and remove the high-beam bulb as well.

622 viewsFirst, remove the two acorn nuts from the bottom of the headlight fairing. The order is nut, washer, fairing mount, then star-washer. Strada owners should remove the windscreen for easier access to everything. Next, snip the zip-tie on the left side that holds the two cables that feed the headlight. The cable holder is on the frame head. The two headlight cables are below it and towards the center rear of the frame head. That yellowish connector you see below the snips is one of them.
