Loads of different light types im finally done!
Bought a set of 2.5" hid projectors from ebay here: £25 or so for 2
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331462742506?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITThe 2.5" are a bit too big but they do work, however if you can get them in 2" then go for it!
The plastic shroud doesn't fit over the projectors once they're in the fzs headlight but it doesn't matter.
I bought both in h1 as i had h1 bulbs, the h4 side of the fazer headlight goes in no problems screw it up tight, the h1 side doesnt fit you dremel the hole out so it fits, took me a few minutes.
You will need to split the headlight in the oven at a warm temperature for 10-15 mins.
Once id fitted it all, put back on bike, wasn't good enough for dark country lane riding with no full beam as i had 2x 55w ballasts + bulbs but when going from dip beam to double dip beam theres not much more extra lighting and you have to wait for it to heat up.
I purchased this wiring loom: £8

the wiring for this is:
You can buy a different one but this "worked" for me, only problems i found where, labled above, the layout i went for was the shorter ballast power lead on the right hand side as the h4 plug connector was the same side, the longer ballast power lead is LONG! it must be a good 50cm too long so just coiled it up and cable tied out the way.The other problem is the battery wire to the h4 connector (back of bike to front) is very tight! its only just long enough so you could make it a bit easier and add a little more length to the positive battery wire.but once its all laid out its simple.
The next task is to provide the h4 connector on the harness with all 3 pins of power, a lot may have already done it, the headlight mod! under the tank is a blue plug, remove the green wire from the plug and run a lead from that to the white(i think) lead on the wiring harness (the top connection), i had to remove the pin from the wiring harness and used spade connectors on a length of wire.
then simply plug the h4 in, plug the ballasts into the power leads, bulbs into ballasts, its a bit fiddly doing all of this with the masses of wire, plug the hi/lo plugs into the 2 little wires coming out of the projectors and secure them to the fairing or under the tank where mine are.
The 2 earthing wires, the right hand side i connected to the top right allen bolt that holds the mirror bracket to the front subframe and the left side was to the fairing bolt on the left side of the tank.
now turn the ignition on and lights on, now you should have both lights iluminated, if not check the ballast plugs are the right way round and the earths are making contact with bare frame.
switch it to main beam, you should here the flaps inside the projectors open up on both and full beam on both lights.
tada
Total time to remove headlight, fit projectors to the fzs headlight and refit to bike: 2 hours taking it easy.
time to wire it all in properly: 30 minutes tops
anyway
pics of the light!
i have to adjust the lights with a couple of washers behind the top of the headlight mount on the subframe as when i put this together i didn't bolt the projectors up straight so at lowest adjustment they're a bit too high with a pillion
dip beam (both iluminated)
Main beam both
Pics don't do it justice however ill try get some when i go out next.
They look much higher in the pics as its on the centre stand.
I think ive covered everything but any questions ill try answer as best i can.
