I like the stock rear, so that won't be getting changed.
The only thing I did wrong was mount the globe upside down. There's a little piece of silver reflective metal on one side of the globe, and it has to point up. With the plastic cover removed (last one you put back on when replacing the front fairing) and with a 10mm socket on a ratchet, you can adjust the height of the low beam without having to remove the fairing. Make sure that you don't hide this with the wiring loom! Sitting on the bike, it's on the right hand side of the reflector.
Otherwise, install is a piece of piss. Use a couple of crimp lugs and a length of wire to make a lead to go between the original globe loom and the hid ballast (I didn't cut the wires so I can take it off if I sell the bike) but make sure that you've got the pos/neg wires the right way round. You don't want to hurt the ballast.
