Cheech Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I've had issue with their wiring harness, just because I put 55W's on and don't trust the Honda harness to carry that much current. The harness that they will send you is for a car, so it will require considerable chopping to make fit. There's also a wiring fault somewhere, which with the modding of the harness makes finding that fault that much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I never got a wiring harness for the bike, my roommate got one for the car and he's had issues several times with a ground fault somewhere. However, DDM has been pretty helpful getting him new stuff or helping him through it. I had DDM bulbs and ballast on my bike for a couple of years and had no issues whatsoever.

AOW Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I've been running DDM for little more than two years now, 55w high/35w lows. The 35w ballast failed nearly a year after install. Thanks to DDM's lifetime ballast warranty, it was replaced for just my cost to ship the small ballast back. Never an issue w/the 55w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo750katana Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 i ended of pullin my HID from my car and put one of those 55watt ballast in my bike with a 8000K H4 bulb and OMFG is it f'in brite....it is absolutely amazing how bright just one H4 bulb can be....i would deff recommend n e one to use a 55watt ballast kit on a bike if ur a night time rider..

wht_scorpion Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I heard people that install 55w hid in there bike melt the housing that why I went with the 35w plus I run a lot of extra's so that power I save with them wont over load my battery.

The wiring was never meant to sent that high of an amp load to fire up the ballasts, the wire gauge is too small. Not worth the risk.

One of the few things that HD does right is over sized wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
