But where do they go... do you have a picture from the manual ?
I'll post one when I get to work.

Damnit, I have to take the fairings and air vent covers off again lol.Looks like 12 and 9. Two on each side ( 4 total) one goes outer one goes inner on each side.
X2 I agree. I can take my side panels off in under 20 seconds no joke ask dimity I sent em a video of that 😎 only thing I did different was I did all d-ring heads instead of a mixture of pan head bolts and d-rings like the kit offersGet the Kurvy girl kit makes taking the fairings off painless

Was doing an evening ride and I must say, the lenses was not dialed in at all. Shiiit, they were all over the place. Got honked at and flashed at with both headlights and emergency indicators.
Rode back home and off to a place with a large building in front and got it adjusted more properly.
They are indeed bright as the day. They can light up high way signs half a mile away!
I am SO GLAD to hear that you're back on the road. You deserve a medal for your perseverance (and also the number of pages you've added to this thread).Damnit, I have to take the fairings and air vent covers off again lol.

Haha, thanks Jasper. I'll get back with a complete write-up soon of my experience.I am SO GLAD to hear that you're back on the road. You deserve a medal for your perseverance (and also the number of pages you've added to this thread).
Mind you, even the OEM HID's on my perfectly stock truck (which I've checked my beam height numerous times) gets flashed once in a while.
I guess you just gotta stop doing so much wheelies on your bike with the new headlights
No u need h1 bulbs the stock housings are h11Nice write up, time for a stupid question. I already have HID's they will they work with the new lens?
Crap, pulled all things apart but it's not those.Looks like 12 and 9. Two on each side ( 4 total) one goes outer one goes inner on each side.
I agree with CPH - there may certainly be leftover wires when you order kits from stores designed to fit a variety of different bikes. By all means take a picture of everything connected and laid out so I can confirm for you (here or pm)I had a few wires and connectors left over as well, I guess they are just bundled from the factory to fit multiple bikes. Could you walk through what you have already connected. Step by step.
EDIT: Looking at my post 249 on page 17 I can see that I have similar wires. They are definitely leftovers.
Exactly, if bought like posted before. The TRS kit come as a dual high/low set now. It is all plug'n'play. The only thing you have to alter is disassemble two of the plugs to route the through the rubber seals that goes into the backside of the headlight housing caps.I agree with CPH - there may certainly be leftover wires when you order kits from stores designed to fit a variety of different bikes.

Don't be overwhelmed by the wires at all. The theory is extremely simple.
Power to ballast > Ballast to light bulb > returning "ground wire".
From TRS, everything above should be plug and play. That is, everything should work once you plug it all in.
However, if you did that, the low beam would only light up on one side of the headlight. When you press the high beam button, the low beam lights would go out and the high beam flappers inside your new projector on the high beam side would activate....
That is why you need a little rewiring. The kit should remedy that according to other members who bought it here or all you need to do is just solder a few wires together to change that up.
Rewiring the wires happen inside the Ducati headlight housing. The re-routing of wires serve to provide power for low beam on BOTH sides, power for high beam (flappers) on BOTH sides
In order to provide power as above, there must always be a positive wire and a negative wire.
That is basically all there is to the theory and it is quite simple once you try to follow how the wires travel from the original Ducati headlight harness into the headlight and back out!
