It's possible if one person clips their wiring harness in half and the other person is willing to live without the relay you could directly wire the ballast and high beam system to the headlight wires. This would mean some creative wiring and you'll be limited to the 35 watt model if you don't want to risk blowing a fuse.

I'd like to know what you bought and from where and how much.
I have to slice my wiring harness open. For sure. Its got that section a bit charred and melted.
Cool.

Where did you get the wiring harness for the headlight from, the previous owner did that to my gsxr and i fixed it ... with electrical tape.  Its as you describe charred and melted.  then there was the mice, so the healight is still electrical taped w/ whats left of the H4 harness :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Didn't have to dremel at all.  I compressed the shield from side to side with some channel-locks and was able to slip it in without any cutting at all.  The cutoff is rather sharp and I didn't have to re-aim at all.

I'm surprised by how fast the solenoid switches from lowbeam to high, and I think it'd be excellent for flashing to pass, but with the light being so bright now, I'm not going to ride during the day with my highbeam on anymore - I have no interest in blinding all the poor cagers.

My only present concern is what I'm going to do with all the wiring when I de-fair my F and go naked.

Shoehorn it all into the headlight bucket....ballast and all. I do believe it would fit with a little bit of thought.

I suppose it might, but I don't wanna break the seal on the light, and I'm not convinced it'd all fit inside of an F headlamp assembly anyway.

I'm not going to be using a 7" round, I'm going to keep the light I've got.  'sides, the ballast is pretty big.
