dont, i tried it in my 796, and i HATED it, and put a standard bulb back in

with current designs, the light output on a standard bulb is usually better than an HID retrofit

if you want HID lights, do the work and snag a projector from something with them stock and cut it up to fit

The stock lighting on the new monsters might be the worst of any vehicle I have ever driven/ridden... ANYTHING you do will make it better! A retro fit of something is work, but well worth it! Heman's set up kicks butt...but there are so many ways to improve it! Just don't get a 29.00 ebay hid kit!
