My headlight SUCKS!!!!
#21
Here's where I mounted my ballast, they offered a black digital ballast when I got mine. I thought I'd just move it later but nobodys noticed it! The harness plugs into the stock headlight plug, but there isn't enough room in the headlight bucket. I had to take the plug apart to get the wires out of the bucket, then put it back together and connected to the hid harness under the tank. The only wires going into the bucket are the hid harness wires. I had to make the original hole a bit larger to get them in.
I've yet to have someone flash their lights at me, maybe because I dim the hi beam when I meet other vehicles and I aimed the headlight properly....
This HID is 35 watts, both hi and low beam. The bulb moves to redirect the light.

I find that most people have no clue when it comes to properly aimimg a headlite so they just install the most obnoxious lamps they can find and call it great. Great...for everyone behind them maybe. Really pisses me off to have to approach these fools at night...downright inconsiderate and I find myself flicking cigarette butts at thier heads as we pass, wishing I had a canned beverage instead. I kind of equate it to those idiots with booming sound systems sitting in traffic...they must think that everyone in a two block radius really enjoy those non-stop pulses.

Just had my Iron in for an oil change and the dealer claims the headlight can't be aimed?? Anyway, I had them put in a better bulb and it made a very significant difference. I can now see the road in front of me, but it is still aimed straight down at the road. The bulb is made by Brite Lite (britelite.net).

Ummmmm, been running the same Silverstar on mine the last two summers....'00 solid mounted sporty with 10" shocks. No issues here.

It's a simple fix that my 10 year old could do......Hell, my 5 year old step daughter could do it if I read the manual to her.

My thoughts exactly and that is basically what I said to them. I plan on doing my own work from now on, just wanted to let them do the first 1K service and I figured I would ask them to adjust the headlight while it was in there. Oh well, now I know.
