I think my HD is the same way. Want to double check it.

I'm calling ddm monday.

I was told by a guy I know that sells HIDs, that he use to sell the same black digital ballast versions that ddm does. But he had problems with them. So he sells a different brand that has a silver digital ballast. Not sure what that is about. Plan on asking him and ddm.

Especially those with the higher lumen/wattage ratings.

Maybe Honda uses a crap stator. I have my Power Commander, HIDs, LEDs, J&M Integrator, Valentine 1, alarm, phone charger, and my GPS hooked up to my bike and I have never had a problem.

oh i know... I used the relay for a while but tossed it shortly after the rally as it shorted out... ran the HID's longer with out the relay than with.

I'll not have a relay on the DRZ

damn... they took care of me right away when I called... but that was last year prior to leaving for my Indy trip on my mid tour.

let me see if I can find the e-mail of the owner for ya

[Mr Lefty]

858-565-1742

that's the number I have... talk to Paul if you can... he's the one that hooked me up...

if not.. I have Mr. Jim Powel's e-mail address, he's the owner of Apexcone/DDM-tuning.

I finally got a call back from them. Said he's not sure what happened yesterday. Spoke to Brian and he was very helpfull and answered all my 300 quetions. So I am going to place an order with him for

1 - H4 hi/lo 55W 8k color ddm
1 - dual 880 35W 6k color ddm

That is 3 HIDs on the front of my beast. Should look like the sun driving down the road.

[Mr Lefty]

why you going with 8k? 5k is the most luminous... I think 8k is more blue (can't remember if it's the higher the bluer or yellower)

[Rangerscott]

Crap. I have to add +$20 for H4 hi/lo.

[Gas Man]

I was told that the 6k would be best. But that the 8k on the 55w would look similar to the 6k of the 35w bulbs.

55w kits tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light output( for example, a 55w 8000k will look similar in color to a 35w 6000k kit).

Which is

The most popular color we sell is 6000k. That would be described as white with a hint of blue

As described here

I want a hint of blue. I think it makes your headlight stick out in the crowd a bit more (day or night) which increases me being seen as well. So the 8k would be more blue... but by going to a 55w the color should wash out and get more white. That's the idea. Is my logic that I worked out with brian flawed?
