H.I.D. problems, can you help solve my mystery?

[02bluebusa]

Just got a hi-beam hid hooked it up and while the bike is
running, I turn on the hi beam and it kills the bike. Anyone
Experience this?

Does it draw that much amperage or is something else going on?

check all your connections, your hi beam might be shorting out . take it all off re-set the stock lights.. and start over.. shouldn't take that long.

When the bike is not running the hid turns on and off as it should. Stock light works fine bike running or not

Checked everything and all looks good. All good connections and it's still cutting off.

Sound like a bad Ballast, swap the high beam ballast to to low beam and see what happens.
If the bike dies on low beam the ballast is shorting the bike out!

Wait a minute
What year is your bike??

Also have you replaced the left hand switch housing?

Did the stock high beam work?

 

[GIXERHP]

try starting the bike with the high beam on

check all your connections, your hi beam might be shorting out . take it all off and re-install the stock lights.. and be done with it.. shouldn't take that long.

Sorry couldn't help myself

Bike is a 01, no I haven't replaced the switch housing. Factory lights work fine. I just bought
a used gear indicator and a used hi-beam hid. If i unplug the gear indicator hid works as it should. As soon as I
Plug the gear indicator back into the 12v harness in the nose section and try turning on the hid it cuts off. If I do
the same thing with factory light bulb the bike does not turn off. I think with the gear indicator and the hid plugged into the same wire harness its just pulling to many amps or whatever and cutting the bike off. Any thoughts? I think I will run its own power wire
With a relay????
