HID install.......fast

[RUBZERK]

This is in response to one of our members on here who doubted that a HID kit was installed in less than 10 minutes.


Well. today i had a chance to run down to Square Rounder's House to have mine installed.

Can you believe it took a lil over 7 minutes. WOW.....thanks SR :bigthumbsup:

That's pretty fast. All of mine needed a wire ran to the battery so it took a little longer than that. :D

No problem!

I think I could even beat 7 minutes if I laid out all of the tools and parts ahead of time. At least my garage was tidied up, so I knew where the tools were.

I think I could do those in under 10 minutes as well.

I do fewer of those because I personally do not recommend them to anyone.

Not that there is anything wrong with them, I just do not like the amount of light you lose on the low beam with the shroud that is around the bulb and I like that if you do have a ballast failure, you still have a standard halogen bulb to limp home on.

Anyway, the bi-xeon setup is only one extra wire, one extra plug-in connection and one or two extra bolts (depending on if you count the battery terminal).

SR, are the kits you do just low beam or both low and high beam? Are they A&R?

I like the Halogen high setups.

It is 2 bulbs on one plate, so both an HID bulb and a halogen fit where your stock bulb is.

They do not cover the HID bulb in a shield to be able to give you "more" light when the magnet moves the bulb like the bi-xeon.

The halogen high setup has the added advantage that if you do have ballast failure, you can still have at least a high beam to get home.

I do not recommend any particular brand. HID is a generic technology and there are actually very few placed they are actually made. The brand is mostly about the sticker they put on it and how many and how long they test them before you get them.

The last two I pointed people to were car kits and they got 2 ballasts and 2 dual bulbs (so, enough to do their bike twice) for, if I recall, $40 shipped.

If you are buying a kit that says it is for the M109r, you are paying for the box and the instructions with pictures of your bike. I would rather just get the parts and not buy the packaging and 'art'.

I really wasn't rushing.

Once you have done enough of them that you do not need to think about each step, the physical doing of it, does not really take that long. I mean, it is 2 bolts, 2 push pins, 2 zip ties and a few plug-in connections. Taking any more time would just be from pausing between steps.

Like I said, I could speed it up if I laid out the tools and parts, but everything was just where it was in the garage.

Who am I brown nosing?

I had commented for him to bring his bike down and ran through times to expect for the different things he wanted done.

10 minutes was my ballpark on the HID install.

You replied 'I would like to see that', which may not include the word doubt, but seems to imply rather clearly that there is some level of disbelief involved.

Had you accepted the friendly wager I had suggested, I would have taped this install so you could have seen it.

So, yes, he is busting your stones, but is all in good fun.

I was installing hardwood floors with my brother this weekend. When I pinched my finger between two planks I was knocking together and lost a bit off the tip of my finger, he laughed like hell.

If you can not bust the stones of a brother 9er, why are we here?

Ride safe.

Good info. Thanks Bro!
