I knew I wanted to upgrade my dipped to HID just for standing out a bit more really, so got in contact with the man himself, he suggested a 35w Ceramic core and ballast bracket. Package arrived the next day, as expected superb service from Les.
Got to install it aound a week later, failry simple if you follow the instructions, the fidlly bit is the bracket on the radiator mounts, remove the screen it makes life a lot easier !
Anyway all connected up and away we go, well not quite, the lamp didn't fire and a LAMPF message on the computer. So I figuerd maybe the battery needed charging, left it on charge over night, still the same in the morning. So various emials and packages from Les, (his customer service is the best I have ever come across from any compnay anywhere !) I thought just before i get into chaging the ballast and ignightor over I'd reset the CanBus (30 mins battery disconnect) and fire the bike with a bit of gas, and hey presto lights alive on the original set up Les had shipped.
So I reckon on my first attempt the battery had been a bit weak and tripped the computer into a lamp fail, from that point on it wasn't supplying power to the headlmap unitl I reset it.
I guess theres a lesson in here about the super sensative electronics on the GS, if at first it doesn't work charge the battery and reset the CanBus, you never know you that might be all thats casuing it
Les, you are a top man, thnaks for all your help and superb service.
Snap.
