I Got mine at a local shop , they run 120 for the pair , HI /LO beam H7 , But im only running my low beam, gave the other to my Bro to put on his 600 RR we Both are running the same exact setup one HID and one BRIGHT Yellow bulb for Hi beam it looks greatt, Awesome Visibilty too !!!!
Any pictures of your hi/low setup?
Sounds pretty good, what temp rating on the high? 3000k?

Yap, that's the word(s)
btw - I installed the HID just for the lower beam, although I think there is a place for the hi-beam as well.
The problem is not the money (especially if I tell you that I got mine as a birthday present ) - but the light start process when I hit the button.
It first flashes, then get to maybe 30%, and in next 4-5 seconds grow to 100%.
Now - if this is normal (and I hard it is) - there would be problems with the high beam as I would like it to shine as soon as I pres the hi-beam switch.
I don't like the idea I would have to wait 5 seconds before it turns the night in to the day...

If you don't want that being the case for the high-beam, then the only solution would be running a non-HID bulb, i.e. halogen.
I don't see it being a problem, at least for me. Why not just turn the high beam on before riding at night, so you don't have to worry about it having to warm up?

I ended up going with just a 5000k HID low beam. I put the slim ballast behind the speedo. I couldn't really find any other place that wouldn't clutter the space behind the lights. I can tuck the slim ballast away, but the ignitor? gets in the way.
So with that said, i have a single brand new DDMtuning.com 35watt 5000K HID kit available for sale. DDM has a lifetime warranty behind their lights, which is why i decided to go with them. Just installed it late last night, i'll be testing it out on the ride home from work today.
