Hey I really want to see a test too.... I think that would be cool and interesting! I totally admit that I don't know everything on this subject, I only know that my experience has been good. Oh and that my battery has almost 250 amps, so I still don't see what the big deal is about 15 and also when my bright light is on, both lights are lit. How many amps is that with the stock bulbs...with Osram 3200 lumen Xtras...continuous draw.... Oh and that I've never taken the battery out, even in Winter back in Michigan. Or charged it...

I know that I shouldn't pick with you but I know guys on three other forums that have HIDs without any problems... Oh and that my kit came with a relay and everything to hook them up to the battery, hopefully when racer was making his "mods", he didn't throw that stuff away! Oh btw one of the guys on Squidnation says that DDM hooked him up with a bulb even though his went bad because he had a crack in the housing and water was getting on it. Anywho, let's see that test with German made ballasts from DDM btw no fair sneaking in old, crappy Chinese ballasts off Ebay!!! Hey if I just put an amp meter at the battery and turn on just the head lights, won't that give you an idea? Have I mentioned how much I love you sweetie?

this is what came in the box.



there is nothing there to wire it to the battery, i wish there were. they charge $20 for the wiring harness which i bought w/ my car. and i also got a wiring harness 3-4yrs ago when i ordered/installed a set from xenondepot.com ($3-400 back then)

ddms wiring harness



"This harness is a fused relay isolation harness capable of supplying 40A at 12vdc."

trip, so it really pulled over 10amps........wow. now i'm considering an harness and relay........lol seriously i am.

That's the exact same kit I have. Nope, it didn't come with the relay.

pulled over that, smoked up the fuse quick.

I wouldn't recommend this to car owners or people with bikes made for lots of electrical add ons. I do it for sportbikes/ e start dirt/dual sport bikes due to the smaller batteries (but you have a Busa, so you probably have a lot better battery than the race bikes because you are pretty much a sport tourer and they may have put in a decent battery to take some abuse from extra electrical hooked up to it.)

It's also dependent on how long you keep bikes, if you only keep a bike 0-2 years, fuck the battery, thats the next persons problem. If you are going to keep the bike awhile, it's good cheap insurance to keep a healthy battery.
