HID headlight problem
I don't care what HID Light Kit you buy but the light output compared to stock is probably 80% brighter and the distance you can see down the road is almost doubled. Plus the low beam lights up both road shoulders so you can see the deer grazing before your right on top of them. I have the MotorCycle Metal Kit and have to say his customer service is top notch.

I have lost faith in my HID from HD. I hooked it up directly to the battery and still doesn't work. So it is the Ballast or the bulb and they are $100 each to replace. I'm going to put the old original light back in I guess.
Thanks for the input on this subject.

Here is a link to the ones I just had installed on my RG. Big difference!

Dalej, Dale, as per conversation yesterday, do you have this type HID D2C of bulb? I have no experience with Harley Davidso0n low beam only bulbs. If this is the correct one, I have found many on e-Bay and several searching the net. I can give you a list of links if it is. I do not sell them.
I have no idea what is in the metal box but I think it is a socket. I also have a list of bottom of the base (contact) photos showing the 3 different bases and contacts if this will help you out.

That exact same thing happen to my HID (not Harley) and it turned out to be the bulb, not the ballast. The mfg said there was a tiny crack and the gas had leaked out. Just food for thought....
The bulb that was used in my HD HID light is a D1R. I have taken the HID kit out of the bike and put the original head light back in.
The bad part of the whole thing is no one around here can check out a ballast or bulb, so I just went back to thing I can test on my own.
