But how do I swap out my bulbs?
If you don't want to remove a lot of tupperware find someone with very small hands to reach down in front of the forks to replace the low beam bulb. Installing the HID kit will require removing tupperware to mount the ballast and run the wires I suspect...

and then properly aim my new lights?
The aiming procedure is in the Owners manual IIRC.... You will not necessarily be able to get a good "by the book" low beam "aim" as the OEM reflector is not meant for use with a HID bulb...

You will need to remove the tupperware from both sides and the plastic surround for the binnacle, you may be better off taking off the complete front fairing. The HID you have bought is going to require quite some fitting so read the instructions that came with it.

The new H7 is a straight replacement for the bottom bulb. Again small hands required.
