Somewhat of a pain but now done. Time was a little over an hour and a half. had to use the dremel to modify the clip that holds the headlight in as well as bend the spring. What they don't tell you when you order http://www.ebay.ca/itm/35W-Motorcycl...item415d35d83f is about the modifications needed. If you look at the pic of the actual bulb you'll see 3 wires coming off at a 90 degree angle and the clip doesn't fit past that. Plus you have to widen the spring to get past the bulky part and then bend it back in place so it is more snug against the skinny part of the bulb. I don't yet know how much brighter the headlight is but everyone says an avg. halogen bulb puts out about 9-1200 lumens while HID is closer to 3000 lumens. You also have to cut the rubber boot to fit over the thick part of the bulb. Since there is no filament to light the bulb as it uses an arc of electricity they have no way to make it high or low beam. They found a way around that as the actual bulb moves back when high beam is turned on and moves forward when low beam is on. You also save on electricity as the bulb is only 35 watts. Shipping to Canada was 25.00 but only 5.00 within the USA and I use http://www.hagensofblaine.com/index.php since they only charge 2.50 to accept packages on my behalf. To save even more electricity you can visit your local http://www.princessauto.com/pal/ as they have an LED license plate bulb. It is literally a direct fit. Only needed to cut the connector off the old license plate bulb setup and attach it onto the new one with some heat shrink tubing. I did not use the steel light shield as I figured no one is gonna be blinded since the fender blocks light from the back side. http://www.princessauto.com/pal/prod...-License-Light They go for 11.99 but they do put them on sale every once in a while and I got it for 5.99
