Looks great!!!

Took me about an hour and a half to do out in the garage. I'm no electrical engineer but after some trial and error I finally had a low beam and a working high beam. My low beam is the halo/projector combo 8000k so after seeing how cheap the high beam was from DDM, the H9 35W 8000k, I grabbed it. I read a few people lost the use of their pass button after installing a high beam HID, but mine is still fully functional for some reason. Anyway looks awsome thanks for all the helpful threads out there guys!!

Just did another DDMtuning Hids on a 09 CBR1000... Had to take the whole bike apart to make room for the ballast and resistors! About 5 hours!

I'm needing a replacement bulb/ maybe ballast. I'll check DDM. changing headlights aren't as easy as they used to be....

Question, I installed low beam HIDs on both my Busa and my CBR1100xx but I have been hesitant about using them for the high beam because of the warm up period for HIDs. Have you found this to be a problem when riding on a dark road at night or are you mostly interested in the actual look of the bike ?

My high beam from DDM takes a minute to warm up......

Doesn't that kind of defy the point ?

I have one of these that I've been considering fitting into the Busa, but I don't know if the lens will work correctly. I'd wire the lamp to the same circuit as the main beam, and the actuator to the high beam power.

My hi beam starts right up and after only a few seconds is full on bright .
With both beams on just push starter button to 'flash to pass' .
It won't engage starter but will kill both lifts for as long as you hold it down .
Come up behind somebody and cut both off and on and THEY WILL SEE YOU !

Do the lights take time to warm back up?

I don't even need the brights with my HID's. The regular lights are enough for me. I use it for flashing only.

The projector is the high beam, wouldn't courtesy dictate that you not have that on when approaching traffic anyway ? :whistle:

Still, I'm curious about what you are talking about.
