Highbeam? You wouldn't have guessed it!

I added a relay and a wire direct from the battery with a fuse right next to the battery. What a mission, but it all works sweet now. Looks like it draws too much current on startup. I'm still puzzled why no one else has had this problem.

Hopefully it still gets a WOF

To do: Cables to tie back, loom to tidy, wiring to give a thorough yank test, controls full-and-free test, road-test during the day, and then a night trip somewhere.

Lowbeam to fit next, then on to the next bike.

Project is a success. $160-$170 per bike for full and low beam HID.

update: Installed other half on the HID kit on the GT250R and the damn thing just worked fine - no dash problems. All done in 45mins. Grumble.

The ballast on the one I have is about the size of a half pack of playing cards. It was an easy install. Sounds like you got the problems sorted. Shines pretty bright!

Yes I should have got the compact ballast. Oh well. Aren't they great to ride with ? It's weird but cool how they light up slowly and change their hue.

Yeah, I'll never go back to regular lights again. I have a WOF coming up in a month, so hopefully it won't be an issue. I'll make sure to go during the day!
