good info on the door opener.  Does anyone know if a headlight modulator will work with this setup.  I Have a Pathblazer one installed on my ride now and would like to keep that as an added safety feature.  Thanks

A modulator will NOT work with HID headlights.

I'm installing my HID lights now and am having trouble getting the rubber water shield from the factory bulbs over the new HID lamp/s.  Did everyone use them?  Jim's picture shows them in place, stretched a little, but it seems like I might tear them to get them over the HID light base.  Maybe that's ok or maybe they won't tear,  just wondering what everyone else did.
TIA
Steve

Forgot to mention I've got the Bi-Xenon which has a pretty large bulb base.

Has any been had problems with HID messing up their radio singal, I have a Dakota Digital Electronic hidden antenna which I suspect to be the problem, any solutions out their for this interference.

Appreciate any suggestion for a fix, Thanks Bruce

I have a Tunetrapper hidden antennae and don't have any radio interference with HID.  I used the Allumina brand Xenon HID's.

Have the Tunetrapper in the red bike.  No problem with it either.  Have used them in other places without issue also.  Have had poor performance from the Dakota Digital small antenna a couple times though.  They're why I use the Tunetrappers.

Thanks for the reply and information, I'll do some research and see what I can learn, in trying to solve my situation,

Can you run the tunetrapper in addition to the stock antennae?  Is there some kind of splitter?

Wouldn't something like this work? - ANTENNA SPLITTER Y ADAPTER male to 2 female UNI Y2FM

You know I have been thinking about this mod for several months, not long ago i got an iPad and thought I'd just set down and review the whole post, however just prior to doing so I just happened to pick up a 2010 HD acc. Catalog. What I noticed was just about every new acc. In that catalog I'd seen before, and then it hit me all HD is doing is letting little guys all over the u.s. Do all their work for them, then they just copy it and put it in their catalog, in many cases putting the little guy out of business, .......there is not one, .........not one other lighting option for one of the most popular models they produce, the road glide,.......... HID LED  for every other model but nothing, nothing for the road glide'............ nothing,..... so that leaves us jury rigging hids for better light. Why, cause hd is waiting for someone else to come out with a soluation so then they can rip them off. We have been working on a part that will fit  touring models for over two years and I'm confident within 6 mos. Of our release Hd will rip us off like they do everyone else......... Accs. And shirts are all that is keeping  their heads above water now. 

Love the bike, but hate the way HD does business, i guess we'll have to come out with proper hid lights for the rg so hd will come out with them

HawgSounds make a Bi-Xenon HID kit made for the Roadglide. The kit includes Hi and Low Bi-Xenon bulb with reflector so the light is directed out instead of around. Also they used the state of the art slimline ballast and the kit come with the power relay design for Harley Motorcycles to keep the factory wiring separate so there is no way of overheating the factory wiring harness. You can reach them at 1-877-888-2788.
