Thanks for the response again. I took my spyder in to the dealer yesterday with 504 miles and brought the combination harness for them to install. I get a call 2hrs later telling me that it's more complicated than they thought. They said the combination harness is for a OEM HID Headlight Kit and OEM Foglight. I installed 2 HID Kit on the bike that are not OEM. His worried that this is drawing too much power and it will fry the combination harness. He was charging me a 12hr job for $900 to install the harness. My main issue is I have been charging my spyder everynight on a CTEK 800 just to make sure it's ok to drive everytime so it does not affect the bike's performance. I was told by a tech that if the battery is not at a 100% the bike's computer system will not perform well. That got me worried. My installer did not want to use the harness so instead he ran power for both HID kit direct to the Battery and installed 2 seperate power switch for both Head/Fog so I can manually turn it on at night so it does not consume power during the day. Have you heard of anyone in the forum using 2 HID kits for both Head/Fog? Thanks
