Hi and welcome!

Someone tried installing aftermarket HID lights on your bike. These are often low-quality and wiring will fray and break within year. Bulbs will often die quicker than that. Your best bet is to completely remove all aftermaket HID light components: bulbs, ballasts and wiring adapters.


Then you will be left with 2x H7 bulb connectors on factory harness.


Plug these into back of new top-quality H7 bulbs from Narva, Osram, Philips, Toshiba, Vosla that you can get from here: https://www.danielsternlighting.com/.../products.html . I highly recommend "H7 65-watt, 2100-lumen Ultra High Output Vosla" bulbs. About double output of factory bulbs.

If they did unspeakable and hacked off factory H7 bulb connectors to install those HID lights, you can restore them to factory condition with new H7 connectors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FQLB52C/ . Be sure to use proper western-union/linesman knot, solder and adhesive heat-shrink tubing. It's done this way in pro-motorsports (MotoGP & Formulae-1), aerospace and military applicstions for performance, durability and reliability.

Link to original page on YouTube.

Here's edited factory wiring-diagram to help you determine what's OEM wiring vs. aftermarket that needs to be removed.


Remember: "There never seems to be enough time to do job right 1st time around, but there always time to do it AGAIN!! Often times, on side of road in total darkness and rain!"
