    Arthur gave me an easy and cheep idea, i have a HID bulb in the norm side and an LED bulb in other side, gives the same light but doesn't project so other drivers aren't blinded

    Hi - it´s easy: while on dipped beam, the high beam bulb will get a fraction (typicalle some 40%, it´s adjustable) of the normal voltage supplied to it, so both lamps will be on, giving the bike a much better look (in my opinion anyway ) without blinding oncoming traffic. When switching to high beam, the module is bypassed, and the high beam gets full power. Another plus: You won´t get those "hey, one of your headlamps is gone" comments from non-bikers :). It was not a pain to fit, but it took some time as I chose to leave the original wiring harness untouched and thus had to make some new wiring with connectors and plugs. I have loads of pics from the installation work, and I can email them to you if you want me to. Yes, the site is German, but I am sure if you email the guy (Jen Neumann) that he can communicate with you in English.

    Is your position led ( at the end of the mirrors ) OEM ? If not, what kind of led did you bought ?

    Not in all aspects. Unless you include an auto-beam-height-adjustment feature, your HID system is not legal within the EU, and a policeman might tell you to get it fixed or refit the original lighting system before you go any further. He might also just let you go, but the risk is there. In comparison, the dual light module can just be disabled at the flick of a switch, and you´re back to stock. In addition, not all like the very bluish color of the HID bulbs.

    Sorry, I don´t get this - how can you have a high beam that gives the same light but doesn´t blind?

    Pics are sent. The reason why the LEDs look so bright is because of flare in the camera lens. In real life, they are clearly visible, but much less intense than the pics indicate.
