Question DDM HID install on my 9 - unsuccessful
Im trying to research wtf could be going on, as I just installed the DDM kit on my 9 and both refuse to fire. Theres no humming, no buzzing that im used to having with these kits. Ive had the same kit on both of my bikes without problems.

55w slim kit

I can hear the relay sounding, can I.. upgrade that?

On my HID kit (not DDM) I had to reverse the plug to get it to work

4300k-5000k will give you the brightest light. 8k will reduce visibility

I've had 2 set of these on my 08 r1. They still work flawlessly. After 4 years of riding, a 960 mile roadtrip these lasted. I may toss 1 set in myfoglights.
