HID Headlight

RE: HID Headlight
HID's usually blank out the AM band. Too much RF getting out of the ballast container. Here's a company that I used to buy 2 HID's for my current ride. The low beams stay on when I switch to high beams (stock setup). Very happy with the results although in my bike, room to mount the ballasts was hard to find. Both of my bulbs and ballasts were made in Japan. Some are also made in Germany - some in Taiwan. Check out this company for good quality kits and pricing (my 2 bulbs/ballasts were $220 total). http://www.hidevolution.com/

Howard, ah'm runnin' the modulator in mah dual-lamp equipped '07 UC, which is why ah've avoided HID to this point - but ya mentioned that you kin set up the spots w/HID? What's the cost on that? Ah realize that many folks think the most important thing is "lookin' cool" - but ah'd rather SEE AND BE SEEN.

RE: HID Headlight
I will be next to the phone if you need assistance. I just sent them & you are already posting. A new record. Look at the bulb. It does not look like the ones on e-Bay!
The shield also comes with it if you wish to use it for light focus. Your option and demands. Haywood727 prefers his without. But than again he has got poler bears chasing him so I guess he needs them (a joke, them zany Canadians).
I only sell the best components, the guys on e-Bay sell HID kits cheaper than what I can buy my HID kits for. The bottom line is quality. If you have a problem, you see me. Component issues, see me. If you are on the road and you hit your light, I'll send you a new one to the place of your choosing. If the bulb is not damaged any you are within your warranty period, no problems! You do not get a recording on Sundays, you get me (unless I am riding than I call you back @ my next stop). I only sell one kind of HID. The one that works for your Harley! I sell only one color, 6000K, the color of the sun!
TN, like the others that have become before you, customer service is more important after you receive the item than before you pay. This goes for the life of our relationship! Problems, call - I fix them - ME!

Well, i ordered my light for my SG, due to overpopulation of wildlife here in Co, now.........Motorcyclemetal (Fast Harley) mentioned a switch be wired in to keep juice from getting to the relay fulltime..........for those with his set-up, where are you mounting this switch?

I used the adaptor that comes with the kit. It plugs right into the OEM plug that plugs into the normal H4 light. That's where the power on mine to the ballast is coming from. There is already a relay in the RG to the lights. Identical to the relay that comes with the kit. I traced it in the wiring diagram that's in the service manual. I wanted to make sure if there was anything else on that relay. Nothing but the signal lights. I figured itwas safe enough. So far so good.
I did take the shields off of my lights. I was getting a "Cat Eye" look with just the top of the reflector lit up. The RG doesn't have a shield around the H4 bulbs. The reflectors are made to not need one. I found this out when I was aiming the lights. I took off the shields and got even more light.
I did also move my igniters from where they were in the pictures to just below the ballasts. Next time I take the fairing off ,I promised Howard I'd take a few new pictures of how I set it up.
Hey Howard, any idea how I can mount them to my dog sled??
