There shouldn't be, as the majority of the power for the lights is running through the dedicated line, all the stock connections do is tell it when they "should" be on.

I may wire in a switch inline as well, so I control when they turn on.
There was a guy on Buellxb.com that wired a timed relay. Had a nice diagram in his post too.

If the 35W 6K's are in stock, I'll change my order... if not, oh well... Not like I really need 'em real soon

if the fuckers would work weekends I would change my order, but all order changes must be made verbally.

can't call 'em to change my order if they aren't open.

yeah to be honest... Trip had the 35w and I had the 55w... and while we didn't sit side by side to compare... it's wasn't readily apparent that mine were brighter...

you'll be happy either way coming from halogen... it's amazing how much more light there is... especially on the fringe... where the halogen still throw light... just not enough to help you see... the HID lights it up perfectly.

35W is all you really need. 55W is useless. I could run full out at the gap with 35W. No point in 55W because I doubt most of you would ever need to use them at night.

I bet I can outride even 55W's.

Remember, flat and straight... yeah, at 130 you overdrive a LOT of lights.
