Bright light city !

it looks pretty simple from the pics but a brief run through would be helpful it doesnt look like you had to cut any wires ?

HID50.com �164 took me about 2 hours to fit, had to modify the main beam connection removing the spade connectors as in the pics, I kept spade connectors on the existing wires where possible incase of a replacement bulb needed away on a trip. Cut wires were soldered and heat shrinked over. Will test the lights out later in the week.....

Nice job, Toast.

I bought two 35W kits from HID50, but bottled out of hacking at the main beam bulb holder so at present only have HID on dip beam.

Have you tried switching from dip to main (or vice versa) while actually riding yet? If so, how is the delay while the HID comes up to full brightness? I had visions of two seconds of dark/terror when switching from one to the other, so was thinking about rewiring so that dip stays on when main is lit (ie dip is on at all times).

Noticed the delay too, alot could happen in that time. Be a great idea to keep dip running if the electrics would cope with both? someone may already have done this, wonder why it wasnt done from new

Isn't the higher temp. bad for your reflector?
On the bmw gs-forum there was a topic about reflectors getting dull because of the heat.
