HID Install Instructions???

[Rush1517]

I just ordered the CQ HID kit and I'm looking for instructions on the install to give me an idea of what I've gotten myself into. Photo's, tips, etc...

Any help will be appreciated.

Hey Jeff,

Check the Lighting (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=81) forum for several good threads, including pics and detailed instructions. Look here (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4217), here (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8493), here (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3334), and here (http://www.bmwlt.net/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=K1200LT&Number=167827).

The first two "Look here" links in Ken's reply involve the CQ kit.

The first is the "tupperware and nose cone off" method.

The second post is mine, pix of Joe's (Messenger13's) installation of a low beam install from underneath the bike.

HowTo install the HID low-beam from CQLight.ca:

PM messenger13 and firm up a date.
Buy messenger13 a few Guinness Draughts, and leave them OUT of the refrigerator so they are ROOM TEMPERATURE for his arrival.
When messenger13 arrives, laugh at his stupid jokes and humor him.
Point messenger13 to the LT and to the HID kit and listen to some ramblings from a vacant mind.
After 30 minutes or so, turn on the key and watch your new HID low-beam glow. Man! She's purty!
Crack open a cold one of your choosing and watch Joe skillfully drink his Guinness (two drink MAX) and tell you why you should be drinking the finest beverage available in the United States.
Feed the bear a burger or some table scraps.
After the affects of the two Guinness wear off . . . we go ride.

No pics required... :D

Hey there Joe - That's quite an offer. I can provide all items listed. Or I could bring those items with me to stop by on a little trip I'm taking to Pittsburg and then on the Eaastern KY on May 25. Assuming the HID kit has been delivered to my house by then. What I really liked was the 1/2 hour time frame. Let me know how you feel about that. Heck, I'm going that way anyway...

Unfortunately, my wife is taking next Thursday off to go riding with me. PM me your number and we'll hash out the details over the phone.
