    I was looking to switch out the stock headlight for an HID, I purchased a "plug and play" kit, popped open the headlight and found this bowl of spaghetti. The blue square is the ballast for the kit. It would not fit in the housing without all the extra wires. Any ideas where I can stuff this thing? I'd still love to get this installed.


    edited because I got bad grammar.

    I had bad grammar too. She rode a 36 flathead Harley and drank and cussed.

    There is room under the fuel tank for your HID controller. You might need to extend the wires and make a mounting bracket.
    You could also mount it on the frame brace below the steering neck (where an oil cooler would mount).

    I don't think its weatherproof, will either of these locations be good enough? Where you referring to inside the brace (hidden) or outside? I suggested inside the brace, he had concerns about heat.

    No matter how bad my grammar was, she was still grammar.
