I just received a set of DDM 35W HID's for my 1125R. I installed them per the instructions and the many great write ups posted here. Plugged everything in, turned on the key and...nothing.

I may have a plug in the wrong place or something since the directions are slightly clearer than mud, but everything seems to only match up one way. So assuming everything is plugged in correctly, does anyone have any other ideas?

Mine have been having intermediate igniting problems. I rode home last night with only brights because my dim wouldn't ignite.

Flip the plug. It should work then.

Thanks everyone. I thought I was the only one. Nill and Dagg, I will try that and report back.

After cutting my dust covers, I could go back to stock, but I feel somewhat committed now.

I installed the DDM HID 35 watt 5k low beam 55 watt 6k high beam in my cr.I soldered the connections on the high beam.
The high beam will ignite every time with the motor not running but, will not ignite with the motor running unless the high beam is turned on before starting.If I turn the high beam on before starting for about 10 seconds I can turn it off before starting and the beam will lite. The voltage is 13.2 and climbing after start.
Please help
