Default *FIXED* HID Conflicting with Scorpio Alarm.

I resolved this issue today after talking with Scorpio about different ways to wire up the alarm. They told me since I didn't buy the ignition kill, I could just wire the alarm into my tag light and that might fix my problem. Well I got home took the rear off. I undid my connectors connecting the alarm to the brake and the blinkers. And low and behold I have had my alarm set for over 2 hours and not a single chirp. The alarm still works though.

If anyone has this issue in the future just wire up the scorpio alarm the way the direction says except don't clip the T-clips to the rear blinkers and brake light. Just wire it up to the tag light and it should work.


Okay well today I installed my DDM HID's, which I love so bright. After talking with Moe the install went smooth, until I finished. My bike is a 2006 600rr equipped with a scorpio alarm. The two seem to have some sort of interference with each other. My alarm has worked perfect until I installed my HID's. I haven't had time to play around with it just yet to try and find out a way to fix my problem. Tomorrow I plan on calling Scorpio and Xenon experts in hopes that one or the other can help me with my problem.

So here I go with my attempt to describe whats up. I have a test tomorrow that I need to be studying for so i will be pretty brief and I have not yet had the time to do any research on this topic. I will have more info tomorrow.

I wired up my HID's correctly. And my Alarm is wired up correctly.

HID's are wired up to the factory wire harness through the factory connectors I just put the paddle connectors in the factory connection where the old H7 lights would plug in.

Alarm is attached to the + battery then to the blinkers.


The bike starts up fine. When I park and turn the ignition key to off with only my low beams on my alarm sounds, just as if I left on my blinkers, but if I cut off the bike then flip my high beam switch the alarm quits sounding. (I thought this will be somewhat of annoying but I can get use to it and all will be okay)

Well I got home and parked my bike in the garage, the way mentioned above with my high beam switch on, set my Scorpio alarm for tilt alarm. I then received a page that the backup battery alarm was going off. Not to sure as to what that means right now, but I will find out and post back.

Can someone give me some insight on how HID's draw their power? Or if anyone has had this issue how did you resolve it? I am just tempted to yank out the Scorpio if I can't resolve it and buy a Nice LOCK and CHAIN.

Thanks guys for your help. I hope someone can help me get this issue resolved. Now off to study for my psych exam.

Default RE: HID Conflicting with Scorpio Alarm.

My Scorpio was doing something similar with the standard headlights. Ended up two problems for me: Scorpio connection (fuse) to battery and the connector on the taillight wire had come loose.
