Another HID question. When installing HID lamps, is there any wiring that needs done beyond inside the fairing. In looking at HID websites, I have seen other cables being installed that require disconnecting the battery and then connecting the HID system to the battery somehow with some sort of relays. Is this something that needs to be done? Is there a certain relay that needs to be purchased beyond the conversion kits, which don't seem to come with anything like that?
This looks pretty easy if all there is to it is replacing the bulb, adding the ballast, and connecting the wires together. Is there more to it, as mentioned above, or is this just a simple procedure?
I think this is what I was referring to:
Without it, when the HID conversion (this or any other) is installed, the motorcycle's or car's electrical system "reads" that the headlamp is only drawing, say, 35W instead of 55W or 65W, and reports it to the controlling computer as a defective or "blown bulb" and you will get a system error, a warning light, or in some cases the bike may not start as a safety precaution. The relay corrects for this, much the same way that conversion kits for LED taillights work.
They are talking about a CAN-BUS system. Do Harleys have this, or is this just something found on BMW's and such?
