Inside my Custom HID for the F2

Here is the diagram I came up with for using the original F2 handlebar mounted dimmer switch with the Nissan (solenoid operated) HID Lens I mounted in the "stoplight" style aluminum housing I made.

It turned out that I couldn't get away with just a relay, I had to add the diode so it was reverse biased when switching to the dimmer position. Otherwise, the relay would latch and not let the baffle spring back to dim the HID. Guess this was due to the voltage discharge time delay lengthened by the relay and solenoid in parallel making the handlebar switch faster than the dropping voltage across the two coils.

Also, I added "third eye" barend mirrors along with front turn signals..... finally ready for Virginia Safety Inspection!
