So as stated in the title above I am getting away from halogen bulbs, I have my kit and I have a basic idea as to where i am gonna put the Ignitor/ballast box thing. was just curious if anyone had some ideas or would share where they mounted the boxes. Contemplated going LED so did not have to deal with the boxes but I like doing things the hard way lol.
Anywho thanks in advance for any help guys
Still contemplating getting the extended caps just to make things a little easier but gonna drill a hole in the factory ones first lol

Put the swap on hold gonna try to find a better place to mount the ballast/ignitor boxes. I like neat and tidy and hate seeing bundles of wires but it seems Yamaha has used alot of the good hiding places so hunting for a empty space. Test fired everything and looks like it will be nice once i can get everything tucked away nice. 20191230_172658[1].jpg

How are you running the wires into the headlight space whilst retaining a seal against water and dirt ingress?

I stuck in some cheep HID back in 2012 and still going strong... Lots of great light for very inexpensive. If they die Ill probably go over to LED... If you run HID, I suggest 5000K
