On my new SE Ultra I opted for the HD HID light in place of the SE halogen light it would have come with. It looks about the same off, but the light pattern (only the low beam) is bluer, extends curb to curb and is brighter.
Well I rode it all of 400 miles since I picked it up this fall and this week I noted that the HID light is out. I have high beam and the spot lights, just no low beam (the HID one). I am bringing it into service tomorrow so they can have a look at it. This is the second repair under warranty because when I picked it up their was a paint defect in the gas tank.
The bike smelled hot in traffic and I thought it was just because it was so new. I now wonder if something electric was toasting. I should know more tomorrow. I hope this is not going to be one of those bikes...
