As the Valquero is recent not many of us are familiar with working on them. In general adding aux lights to a bike is not difficult. As you mention a part # I presume it would be a Kawa accessory and should come with instructions.
It may even be plug and play, but if not make sure the kit comes with a relay, or if not do install them using one. you can find more info on lights and relays on Gadgets page.

We can tell you How To wire it, but can't tell you what must come off, or wire code, other than the ground wires on your bike are very likey black with a yellow tracer. kawii has used black/yellow since the scales fell of dinosauers for ground.
Also there are no less than 3 different ways to wire passing lamps. 1 is with a relay that comes on with the marker lamps. (passing lamps on all the time.) 2 is with a relay that comes on with the low beam (ck state laws) some states do not allow passing lamps with hi beam. 3 passing lamps with no relay and wired on their own circuit, and can be wired so they may only be used when the ignition is on. 4 passing lamps with no relay and wired on their own circuit, and can be wired so they may be used any time, no matter if you even have the keys in your house, and the ignition is locked off.

I am pretty sure azcruzer has installed the lights on his Vaquero. He's probably too busy riding in this perfect riding weather to chime in.

I wish I was out riding in this really nice weather....damn work gets in the way of all the fun! No, I haven't installed the driving lights in my Vaquero. I have watched the wrenches here at the shop install a couple sets so far. Kawasaki says you have to remove the fairing, but the guys here have figured out how to install without doing that. Apparently you can remove both locking compartments, and if your hands are small enough, remove the vents, and install the lights. As far as wiring, it's just a plug and play thing.
