I was able to ride "after dark" this eve as the weather cooperated. I can say that after installing the H4(9003, HB2) Hi/Lo 6000K Automobile HID Kit that I no longer have need of high beam. The 6000K HID low beam is brighter and wider (at least to my ol eyes) than the halogen high beam.   Thought you might want to know...

Very happy with this kit and the 6K HID low beam, very wide and projects way out there....

And what did that set up run you all in.
Also, 411 on the chrome starter.

iglide, I'm glad you like the HID kit.  It is indeed a night and day difference (HaHa) with HID's on board.  Not only do they significantly improve night visibility, they dramatically enhance safety.  Even in the day, the bright lights catch the attention of oncoming traffic for miles ahead.  I've lost count of the vehicles that start to pull out in front of me and then stop when they see the lights.

Thanks Jim, Great Addition !

This HID kit looks really great and I want to thank Jim Kerr for the detailed instructions.  Having said that, however, I am interested in getting opinions from anyone who has decided to use either 6000k or 8000k HID lights on their SERG.  I do want the increased lighting from the HID and I am thinking I would like to go more blue than the 5000k yields.

I've got the 6000K and am very pleased with them.  They look blue but emit a pure white light...as someone posted earlier, they really show true colors so signs and DEER standout much better.  As Jim said, it really gets the attention of other drivers during the day as well.  You'll love them.

Does anyone know if the HID light kits work with the Harley hi/low garage door openers? Thinking of getting the HID 9003 Hi/Low kit for my 09 SERG but wanted to check first.

I suspect no problem.  The garage door opener taps into the headlamp wiring before the bulbs.

I have another HID question specifically for RoadGlides.  Do our lamps have 2 different level settings?  It seems that 1 bulb is pointed lower/higher than the other.  Is this to give a greater span of coverage?  If so, how does this effect the HID conversion.  Thanks!!

I think that both levels are equal at mine .
Anybody else has differents ?

When you install the HID hi/lo system, you use only one of the bikes head lamp plugs. the other plug is not used. It is perfect to plug and play the garage door opener! It's like it was a factory option.

Oooooh.  That's exciting!  I'm adding the garage door opener now.  In place, but not yet wired.  Thanks for the tip!!!

[PR3VS56]

Being that I have 2 bulbs side by side, I'm inclined to go with the Bi-Xenon HID.  No risk of going total dark (unless both bulbs burn our simultaneously, and that's highly unlikely), and brighter hi-beams.  What's wrong with my logic?

Thanks for the info on the garage door opener.

[tlr]

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
