BCU is just checking the current flow every now and then, if anything seems to be abnormal it assumes that either shorting or blown bulb. Stock switches are magnetic contacts which is acting as sensors every contact its alerting the BCU that a connection is trying to establish and the BCU triggers the relay attached to the load. This is what I learned so far. Experts pls conmment.
Polarity of the diodes are correct here am suggesting 2 diodes for a addnl safety to the BCU, if one diode is used and by chance the diode conks off there will be reverse current and may damage the BCU and hence the 2 diode installed.
Projector shield solenoid hardly takes less than 2 watt so 1A diode is more than enough. 6A is for powering the ballast. If you found that the 6A diode is heating up excessively, then replace with higher capacity ones or add another one in parallel. This depends on ur ballast power drawing rating.
U should not disconnect the wires from the male socket, just connect everything as it is, including the stock electricals. If u disconnect any of the wires then relay in the harness wont switch and hence there wont be any supply to the ballast.
This is why I asked u about testing the kit. Have u done it? If not do it before any mods. Being its not a direct snap on mod it should be tested before proceeding else, we may mess up the whole thing without knowing that the kit is faulty.
So test the kit first:
Disconnect the HID kit fully from the bike, Connect the red wire to the battery +ve, black to the -ve, then take a wire from the batt +ve and connect to the HID male adapter white wire. The HID should work on low beam, take another +ve wire and touch the blue wire, now the high beam solenoid will get activated and thus high beam.
If everything is ok then proceed with the mod:
Cut the blue wire on the HID adapter leaving enough length for joining. Take the blue wire on harness end and connect the 6A diode and 1 A diode in series (as per diag) and the end of the 1A diode to the blue wire other end. Take a tapping from between the diodes and connect it to the white wire on the HID male adapter where u've to connect the red (supply +ve) wire too. Connect the black supply wire to ground properly. U r done.
Hope this helps.
