HiD conversion done today

[blues n twos]

Well after my first set of canbus safe lights arrived, 3 of the 4 worked

So I ended up sending them back and getting two kits from HiD's Direct. They offer a canbus terminator kit which is gauranteed to work and I'm pleased to say that they all did just fine

They are now supplying these kit to one of the Adventure bike companies so I had total confidence in buying these. It's another avenue for your consideration and there are many to choose from now Cost was £62.99 per kit which is two bulbs, ballasts etc so I ordered a H7 & a H11 Kit for the additional lights.

It took quite a while to work where best to mount the ballasts etc but I ended up mounting two in the cut out part of the tank on the offside and two under the beak.

And here are some pictures of my day having fun

Beak mounted ballasts....

These are the other two ballasts clamped in position using metal bracing and the threaded holes provided

The view looking down. I wanted it as clutter free as possible

Looking from the side

All cables wrapped in cable tidy to try and keep the proffesional look

And the final all lit up shot

I had a good day and I'm very pleased with the end results

I'll have a look it was keeping the capacitors out of the way and I couldn't see a way of doing it neatly with all 4 under the beak. I might change it

Cheers mate there were many "staring" moments where I just didn't know where it was all going to go

Hi i heared about the guys who were pulled with Hids just before i went so it was in the back of my mind but never had any trouble just the luck of the draw i guess, i did lower the beam and turn the spots off when not required though.
