CAN THE AVERAGE JOE INSTALL THESE THINGS? OR SHOULOD I PAY THE DEALER?

As Crash said, you can do it. Just take your time.

I installed the Yamaha passing lamps last Spring. The instructions were poor to read (copy of copy of copy...), but laying everything out first did help.

The biggest challenge is getting the compression fittings together. I believe this is where most people have the problems and breakage. A little, but subtle, help from a vice grip got mine to slip in and I have had no problems since.

Originally, I connected the power lead to the high beam (yellow wire). This past week, I changed the connection point to an always on (blue wire) so the passing lamps would be on regardless of whether I was on high beam or low beam.
