It seems that the HID's have issues, premature failure.

Mine is over 2years old on Red without any timer circuit to keep the bulb on while cranking :good:
I did have a failure with the cheap kit fitted to the Rats Nest ($12) which didn't have a battery feed and just plugs into the original headlight wiring. I prefer the battery feed kits as they reduce the current going through the starter interrupt and headlight switches :yes:

I think the hid's are somewhat of a gamble, especially when I see one kit for $150+ and another for $29 with similar specs.
I would still like to put an hid in but I'll research them much more closely and I wouldn't buy a high priced one without a 3 year warranty minimum.

Does this kit require any mods to to the faring to install?

You need to have room for the black ballast in the fairing and a good battery supply lead. On the Rats Nest I have just tapped into my accessory ignition feed that is already in the Vetter fairing. I intend to include a good battery feed (when I next remove the fairing) into the original Vetter plug as their are some spare wires/ circuits. :yes:
