Here a summary of the installation of my Xenon HID lights:
1)Bought at http://stores.ebay.com/diane-shop
2)First thing was to fin a place for the ballast.Start by removing the speedometer, upper panel and windshield. Since I have a 1250S inside the fairing was a good place to hide them. I installed on on each side. I fix the rack that came with them with epoxy paste.

3)Installation of the bulbs require some shim.Because the OEM installation has some kind of backshell on the H7 bulbs that are not used for the HID set-up.So you need approx .250" shims that goes between the H7 bulb seat and the holding spring in the light housing.

4)Now once the bulbs in place you need to installed the OEM rubber seal.Since the 12 volts supply connection to the HID balast will be done outside the OEM rubber, you need to pull out the + and - lead from the HID provided rubber seal.Once done you need to trim the OEM rubber center diameter to have a nice seat with the OEM rubber seal.Then just slide HID rubber seal inside OEM rubber seal.

5)Install OEM and HID rubber in place on the light housing.Block the 2 small holes where the + and - lead where passing thru the HID rubber with silicone.

6)Connect the + and - 12volts of the HID to the original 12 volts supply shell.Respect the polarity.

7)Now to prevent the running light to shut down when you hit the starter button you need to short the 2 wires that control the light off at the starter button.
Locate the starter connector on the right side between the tank and the frame just back of the forks. Just follow the leads that runs from the starter button.

The Suzuki workshop book call for the Black/orange and the Green/black wires, but on my Canadian bike I had the Black/yellow and Black/white controlling the light off when hitting the starter.To be sure just open the starter shell where the starter switch is on the right handle and then remove the small white plastic protector. You will see 4 wires. The 2 bigger one are the one for the light control. just look at the color code.One inch from the starter switch connector that you just locate before, cut those 2 wires and solder them together.Tape insulate or install shrinkable tube.
