This post will show all the steps required to properly install bkmoto.com HID projector headlight kit into the 2008+ Yamaha FZ8 FZ8-N
This kit will also work on the FZ6R, as the headlight is the same as the FZ8.
More information on this kit can be found on www.bkmoto.com
The kit will come with everything that you need to install the projectors, including all neccesary H7 adapters and H7 plugs which will plug into your OEM headlight plugs.
You will have HID low beam, and high beam, with super bright HID's and a halo
This project should take about 4-5 hours.
Lets start!
Remove the windscreen
Remove the side covers
Remove the headlight
The headlight is held with 4 bolts, 2 on the bottom sides and two at the top
Remove rear rubber boot, light bulb, and bulb holder.
Now, you will need to open your headlight.
To do this you will need to heat up the glue that holds the headlight together.
You have 2 choices, Either use the oven or buy a cheap heat gun (about $25 at any hardware store)
Heat gun Method:
Turn on the heat gun on high setting, hold the heat gun about 8" away from the seam and work your way around the headlight seam slowly for a few rounds.
Oven Method:
Preheat the oven to 225F degrees, place the headlight on a towel and into the center of the oven.
Bake the headlight for 8 minutes at 225F degrees, then remove the headlight.
Once headlight is hot, start to open it using flat head screw drivers, carefully open the little tabs that lock the headlight together and pry the headlight open.
If you are struggling, then the glue is not hot enough, as it should be fairly easy to open once the glue is hot.
You might need to reheat the headlight a few times untill the lens is off.
Remove the 3 small screws that hold the bezel in place
