got my bive vis order to find out that an HID "kit" is only for one bulb not both as I had thought...
ideally I would one both to be HID however I got this email back:
The HID kits are only sold as single bulbs.... the reason mainly being for this is that most bikes cannot take the high startup load of a double HID (around 80 Watts * 2). This load then drops but not before the arc in the bulbs has failed to light.
is the above true or can the vstrom handle both bulbs being HID?
I also noticed on the wiring harnesss they sent has a double rocker switch unit between the h4 connector and the ballast which adds to the amount of stuff to find a place for (as well as a small black box between the HID light and ballast); I was told via email
The switches on the unit change the polarity of the high / low beam pins (to cater for all manufacturers), try them both in one position, and if no joy switch them both to other..
I thought the kit was going to be a simple case of an HID light and a slim ballast not a pile of other stuff as well
