H.I.D. System $25!!!

Well I thought current draw (amps) was calcuated by dividing the watts output by the voltage. So if I have a standard 55w halogen, divide that by 12V and that's 4.6 amps continuous draw. Right?

Thanks for the links on the relay ebbs..

If this HID is really only 6 amps startup.......then I probably wouldn't need the relay........But I dunno, seems hard to believe.

Oh and then they drop to 3.4 amps, I think... Heck, I ran 100w bulbs on my '03 without incident... In fact, no bs but I haven't even bought a bike battery for at least 15 years, I don't think. Of course, I've only owned Yamaha and Suzuki in that time frame so...

I think my HD is the same way. Want to double check it.

I'm calling ddm monday.

I was told by a guy I know that sells HIDs, that he use to sell the same black digital ballast versions that ddm does. But he had problems with them. So he sells a different brand that has a silver digital ballast. Not sure what that is about. Plan on asking him and ddm.
