I have been thinking along similar lines: depending on HID dip and main lamps for main illumination, and having switchable fog lights on my GULG bracket, to provide a bit of fill-in lighting.

Mine is off to Bransons on Wednesday, to begin the (hopefully not too long) process of sorting out my failed reg/rect connector.

But when I get it back, it would be good to meet up for a natter and see how you've gone about thing, if that's OK?

They are the ones from halfords �39.99 with a included wiring kit, I bought a different switch, they are 35 watt ballasts abd 4300k bulbs and main beam only the spots are god for dip beam as they light up directly in front of you, the brackets are forsake by gasupandgo on here, I think that's his name anyway lol

Just got some Hella Micro DE fogs off E-bay. �63 delivered from Germany in four days!!! My fecking postie cant match that!!! Complete with all wiring, connectors and switch. Have got the Gas up and Go custom brackets to fit them onto. Going to get a HID50 dip beam setup to put on at the same time to make it worth taking the tank off, Fogs, HID, heated grips and hand guards all going on at the same time.... wish me luck!! Might do the KEV MOD as well as DNA filter and airbox mod all together, a busy weekend but a new bike by the end of it i think!!!!!!!!!!!!

watch yourself with wiring up heated grips and the like, go direct to battery, talking to my local yam mechanic and he reckons the modern looms have rubbish earths, so i went direct to the battery with mine, you can also run a relay then if you want it switched...

i had the loom changed on mine as it burned out at the reg/rec plug

Nice Job, looks great.

As i was fiddling with my reg/rec plug i thought i would pop the panel off and take a picture of the ballast fitement for the HID setup if anyone is struggling to fit the ballast, you can either use double sided tape (industial 3m automotive is best) or sticky backed velcro, which is the best bet as you just give it a yank if you have to remove the tank.

The silver foil again looks crude but keeps the heat away from ballast.

Also a picture of the akro cats after they have been removed.
