Now that you had the same issue as I did, with one but not both lights working, I guess it's official that the HIDs need their own direct line. I also think it's a good idea to start the engine before turning on the lights.

Where did you put your ballasts?
Since I'm running a wristwatch battery I always turn the lights off before starting the machine, one less thing to worry about.

I put the ballast/ignitors inside the front box. I didn't hard mount them, what I did was wrap them in sheets of stryrafoam packing material and let the box lid compress it somewhat and they stay put. I drilled holes for the wires and sealed the holes with clear RTV and she's been surprisingly waterproof so far and we do a LOT of water/mud riding.

Pics/vid soon.
