HID Conversion

They do make a digital HID. I know many of my Big Dog guys are starting to run them. They create less heat so you can store the ballast in more tight places and they draw less amps.

yep,the kit I just ordered comes with a digital ballast and plugs into the existing wiring harness. $60 shipped.I decided to only get low beam as that's what I ride in 90% of the time anyway. BTW,according to all the research I've done,HID lights require LESS electricity than halogen,so I'm not sure what all the concern is with start-up.....

Tigger... they require less constant current than halogen but when they first ignite they require a large amount of power to start up. (or so I understand from everything I've read)

with two balasts coming on when my bike is also trying to start just doesn't sound like a smart plan... so delaying them 10 seconds is worth it... to me at least

that's cool...according to the seller(take it like you want) the ballasts/ starters already delay...kinda like flourecent lights. Anyway,my bike only needs one so there!

[Mr Lefty]

yeah no big deal... though I wonder if the power draw is delayed or just the lights coming on is

Anybody heard of these guys??? http://xenonrider.com/

For the price and all they look great, and the few guys I got the site from said they all worked great. All that I know of went into a gs500f so its hard to say for what bikes they will or won't work for.

[Mr Lefty]

yeah I looked at those... the only problem I had with them... is they lie about the color charts... they say the 4300 is standard and 6000k is plasma white

in fact... 4500k is the pureist white available.
