I have seen a few different methods that require making complicated mounting plates and spend hours and hours on adjusting the plates so the lights are correctly positioned and aligned.
This how-to will show the easiest method of installing hid projectors into the ninja 300, 90% bolt on, with almost no special tools needed, only basic hand tools and a dremel.
You will have both headlights on for low beams, and high beams, with super bright HID's and halo's
This project should take about a full day, or a nice weekend with lots of breaks.
Lets start!
Remove headlight from bike, remove light bulbs from the headlight.

Now, you will need to open your headlight.
This is the hardest step of the whole install, due to the fact that Kawasaki cheeped out on the ninja 300 headlight and saved 25c by using silicone based glue and not rubber butyl glue like every single other headlight on the market.
This glue doesn't get much softer with heat unlike butyl glue and its harder to remove the lens.
You will need to stick the screw driver deep into the seam and cut away the glue as you wiggle the screw driver, do this all around the headlight.
This took me about 45 minutes and i had the lens apart.
once the lens is off, scrape off the old glue.

Then remove the 2 screws on the back of the reflectors that hold the bulb holding hardware

Now remove both reflectors from the headlight by turning the 2 rear adjustment screws counter clockwise, and then pop them out from the 3rd mounting point which is a snap in ball. be gentle and turn each screw a few turns and go to the next. you dont want to strip the delicate plastic sleeves that the adjustment bolts thread into.

now we need to drill a small hole for the projector wires to go through,
drill from behind the reflector right under the bulb holder base.
the new hole is located under the center hole where the light bulbs go.

and now we need to modify the reflector with an easy cut, so the projectors will fit properly.
You need a dremel with a cutting bit.
Here is the end result of how the cut needs to be on the bottom of the reflector:

Here is a video that shows how to cut using a dremel, in this video i did not cut deep enough, use the above pics for reference how much to cut off.
