There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

If you end up deciding to give up on the aftermarket ones.. I have a factory can-am kit for sale $340 the bike will run perfectly with the factory kit and replaces the whole light fixture with nicely sealed housings that are designed for the HID lights

How does led compare to HID?

LEDs have a low voltage/current draw (compared to HIDs or halogens), run much cooler, don't have any ballasts to :cus: with, and put out an intense blue/white light. Might be cheaper than an HID kit too; though I'm not sure on that point as I haven't researched any HID kits. I would also note; from reading other forum threads here, there seems to be a huge qualitative and ease of installation/operation difference in HID kits.........some have reported excellent experiences with a particular brand of HID kit [of course I can't remember which brand it is 
pps:]. This parallels what I've read about various HID kits in the car forums I'm a member of also.
customdynamics.com go to their Spyder section.....................they've got tons of useful (and the other kind too) LED upgrades. Turn your ride into a veritable road bound UFO!
BTW: Despite my initial post; I am sorry to hear you've had such an aggravating time with the HID kit; :cus: like that can really ruin your day in a hurry; especially considering the expense, and time and effort trying to trouble shoot intractable technical issues. good luck!

This is an old post someone dug up. Since starting this post, I gave up on trying to make the Xenon Depot HID lights work and bought a CAN-AM HID kit which worked perfectly for me until I traded my RS (it's actually a GS) for a ST Limited. I had only used the kit for 2 months so I switched the bike back to stock before trading it in. And it won't work on my new bike.
Not sure If I'm going to mess with my ST headlights or not. They are better in stock form than the RS was but the HID kit was SOOOOOOO DAMN NICE.
