No it not standard down here in Australia but I took the advice of the guys here on the site & purchased the dual lamp housing from Harley davidson

CLICK HERE TO SEE IT

As HID lights are only single filiment & can not be used for high & low. However there is a new type H4 out that has a sheild that moves across the beam when you change from high to low giving the effect of a twin filiment bulb but I am not too sure how reliable they would be having a moving part. I really dont think you need to go there when you can have a far superior set up with the dual bulb housing & twin H9's

Cheers

Thanks , Aussie, for the informations 

I  a little because I read that our friends from States like our single bulb headlamp and we prefer duals bulbs 

Best regards

Last point, in your case, is it not cheaper to buy the HD HID headlamp ?
You bought the dual headlamp and the kit HID H9

Jacques,

The HD HID kit has HID low beam only & the high beam is still only a crappy halogen bulb. The total cost the way I did it was not that much more for a true dual HID headlight setup.

Are you sure ? H9 units ?
I've a single bulb for high and low beams. See pic.
The HDI models have high/low beams in single bulb.

Jacques,

My mistake. I did not realize the HDI bikes did not already have the dual bulb set-up.

Sorry for the confusion.

Will both ignitors for the H-9 Xtralights HID fit inside the SERK Nacelle? Is anything special, or is anything else required for installing them on the SERK? Thanks guys!

As usual, thanks again Gary. It looks like it's a little tight in the Nacelle, and Neal eventually relocated the ignitors outside the Nacelle. It was very tight after he used the brackets to mount the ignitors. I'm thinking of using double-sided tape to fasten them to the inside of the Nacelle sides instead. Hopefully everything will fit OK that way. I think I'll contact Jim on this. Might as well get them from him. Thanks again!

Ok o' wise one, what would you have done differently?

Hoist!

[naitram]

you already said it. double side tape them to the flat fron face of the nacell between the triple trees

mine are currently on the upper legs between the triple trees

Holy crap, I guessed right!

Ok cool, we'll have some real fun. I'll get Andy over too, and do the Amps, speakers, and Zumo/XM at the same time as the Headlights. You don't know what you just got yourself into!

Sounds like another weekend of Steaks, Chinese Sausages and Beer!

Hoist!
