1. Low beam bulb 2. High beam bulb 3. Position lamp bulb I used this picture for reference to help me remember which one was low bean when installing my DDM HID kit. I installed them where its say Low Beam. Guess what, the outside bulbs are high beam? WTF! I never did check before i started, i just used this pic. Since i haven't even rode this at night yet, i'm not that familiar with the lights. I guess i need to move them to the inside now. (Message edited by americanmadexb on March 22, 2010) |

Maybe the headlight guy had a special lunch diet. |

Evidently so are the 09R's.. I got it all straightened out. I will finish it all up tomorrow. Now i just need to glue the back of the rubber caps of the High beam which i thought where lows! No big deal! (Message edited by americanmadexb on March 22, 2010) |

Something really odd is going on with my HID's. When i had these installed on the high beam side by accident, they worked. Flipped them to the REAL low side....NOTHING. I thought the igniters went bad so i ran a jumper to the battery and the igniters made noise and fired right up. So my question is, are they not getting enough juice? I don't have the recall done yet. I rode about 30 miles today with my high beams on hoping to get enough charge on the battery to fire them up but i got nothing! There is a harness i can buy from DDM, but its huge and nobody i know is having this problem. I'm thinking about ordering another set just to see if they work. Any idea's? |

Check voltage on the low beam wires with a multi-meter. |

I can't find my volt meter I switch them over to the high beam side and they worked again. Not sure what the hell is going on. The low beam's work with the stock halogen's, so i know there is power. Not sure why these are working on high beam side and not low's. Really starting to piss me off. |
