I have been looking at the hid kit Motown put on his bike. And seen where people are saying buy and extension kit and mount the ballast under the seat. I have seen also where people have mounted them to the neck of there bike. Are the ballast water proof?
Bikerlaw do you have a picture of the on/off switch? Also what wire did you have to cut to install the switch (one from the motorcycle wiring or hid kit wiring?). And did you install an hid with a hi/lo or just low beam?

Heres a pic of the switch. Its nothing fancy. Just a waterproof NAPA switch. It was a good one, like seven bucks. The HID I installed technically has high and low, but not really. Its the same bulb at the same power, but what happens when you hit the high beam is a tiny magnet moves the bulb internally, thus raising the beam to "high beam". Its Chinese, what can I say. But honestly, low beam works just as great. Its that freaking bright. I spliced the switch into the ground wire. Thats how I cut power to it when I want to start the bike., I have no reason to believe it does any good what so ever, other than one member claimed he burnt a power source up starting the bike with the light on. No idea if that makes a lick of difference, but the source is a pretty smart guy and I figured.....what the heck, right. So now I turn it off when I start the bike, just to be safe.
Thanks for the picture. Now I just need to figure out where I want to mount everything.
Bikerlaw what kit did you end up buying? And how long have you had it? Any problems?

No problems yet, but I have not had it all that long. I am actually going to order a second kit, just so I have an extra of every single part just in case I ever have a failure. for $36 its just worth it to me. Here is the exact kit from the same guy I bought mine from. He was just the luck of the draw. Any of fifty sellers sell this exact same overseas kit. I just picked this guy.
