    I'll get some pics tomorrow but its just a simple SPST switch. Put it on the inner fairing by the cig lighter. Its wired to the 12v that the fuse is on on the ballast. Pretty simple. Same place they show the switch (Box next to the battery) in the pic below. Ours use the H4 bulb so it would have the adapter that you plug into the existing bikes headlight plug but still the same.Just put the switch in the 12v+ feed. http://www.carhidkits.com/images/hid-kit-installation.jpg

    Jeff, You running HID's on the fender mounts? If so what did you use to extend the wire down ? Digital MultiMeter lead wire ?

    If the starter is built into the ballast then it could easily be intermittent. The biggest problem with HID's on the 2nd gens though is that when you start the bike and the headlight is already on it may kill it due to the voltage drop during start. Have you tried to put a switch in to keep the HID off till after the bike is started and then flip it on ? If its the voltage drop problem during start simply shutting it off, wait a couple of seconds and turn the ignition back on and the HID relights then it is the drop causing it. I've run my same ballast,starter,bulb for over 5 years and nearly 70k miles. But I have the switch installed and use it every time.

    I have had no interference of any kind over the last 5 years of running HID.

    I have had the same problem for the last 5 years. The Bi-xenon HID headlight is great. I even installed 2 4.5 inch headlights on the passing light bar. Can't find anything small enough to fit in the smaller housing..

    We had a 98 Regal (same as century but with leather) It was a great car. They only put one size engine in if I remember right but the Regal GS had super chargers. Boss (not the wife)went thru 3 Regals over 10 years. Good cars. Bought ours new and traded it at 90k. No problems.

    I have a Bersa Thunder .380 that's easy to hide. Just be sure to stick with OEM magazines. The Pro Line's I have have a tendency to jam.

    My guess is Battery or Ignition switch

    I think it depends on the light pattern of the headlight. If it mounts "top up" and the yellow Leds are on the sides then you could tie them to your turn signals. Modulating the whites would be something totally different. That would depend on how they are wired, if the can be dimmed. You would not want them cutting off and on because then it may appear to strobe. I may order one this summer and check it out.

    Just looked and it looks like one is the H4/9003 so it would not need a plug change

    On the RSV you bust out the old headlight and goop it in its place. I'm not sure about the RSTD's

    81 bucks. Cheaper than an OEM probably

    This looks interesting. Would have to change the connector but .... Has 34 Leds in it http://www.iowa80.com/DirectionsWEB/webcart_productDisplay.php?itemid=203560&itemdesc=7%22+Headlight+with+LEDs http://www.iowa80.com/DirectionsWEB/client/images/l177330.jpg http://www.iowa80.com/DirectionsWEB/client/images/l177329.jpg

    This thread is doomed

    Another thing that's cool to see is the shuttle re-entry at night. Saw it once in Tuscon, Looked like somebody tool a yellow pencil and drew a line across the night sky...

    Shoot, They always melted in my pocket...... Should left them in the bag I guess:rotf:

    The point of my post was. Is the dealer so sure of his mechanics findings if he says it was the oil or the oil filter that he is willing to go to court? Or is there enough reasonable doubt that he should just tell Yamaha to fix it. I doubt that the dealer would want to go that far. Why would he? He's gonna get paid either way.
  24. BuddyRich
    My response to the non oem oil filter would be " Then you will personally take the stand and swear that the oil filter or oil caused the engine failure " When I sue the oil filter or oil manf to pay for the repairs? Will you sign a Deposition now to that effect ?
