I've had a go at fitting it this morning. Found a problem.
I'd got the ballast stowed and the wires led into position, plus the harness fed thru' the rubber sealing cover - see pic #1. All ready to go and the orientation of the bulb worked out. Protecting cap off, reach in, locate the base, swing the spring clamp thingie over and ....
Bu**er.
The base on the HID bulb is about 1.5mm thick. The H7 bulb is mounted on a plinth about 10mm thick. The spring clamp does not take up the difference of 9mm and the bulb is as loose as ... a loose thing.
See pic #2.
So, who has done this mod on a 900 and what did you do about this? I can specify a split annular ring to fit and take up the slack, but is there a quick or easy or cheap fix?
- and while I'm asking, I assume I simply crack off the bottom part of the HID bulb protection cap once it is all fitted and working OK?
I've gone ahead and bought a kit with H7R @ 4,300K (the highest lumens output).
