Default light in hand

So the new light came in today and looks killer. however, there are only two wires and im assuming there are three on my bike. How does rigging this up work? self grounding? do high/low still work? I've seen some say the lights ground themselves and you don't need to attach the third ground wire to anything. Others have said you need to attach it to the light housing to ground it.

I did the same thing to my 04 Low Rider, piece of cake. I got my light from Eastern also, then I installed an HID light kit nothing to it. I did have to take of my front wheel to drill the mount. Go to this thread to see pic's New Light Pic's .

I had to find a new mount as the one that came with it didn't fit my bike. I still have the old ones if anyone needs one.

so she's all mounted up and looking good except for all of the wires hanging out. I'm going to bundle and case the wires to clean them up some but I'm wondering what everyone is using to clean up the top tree. Mine was a top-mount headlight with a eyebrow case. When that was removed, the top tree has a half-moon cut-out on the top tree that was there to allow space for the light but now looks goofy and shows all the wires. I'm looking for a good cover without having to replace the entire top tree. Who's got the piece I'm looking for?

Blackout, I know it's not exactly what you're lookin for, but here's what I did with mine. Just grind out the inside edge of each speedo bracket hole, and it lines right up with holes from "eyebrow".
