No - standard bulbs draw 55 watts and HID's draw only 35

Phew... ! The painted nosecone puts sanity back in the world:burn:

Back on topic....

Was the H3 kit in your link the kit that you ordered and did it contain bulbs/wiring etc., for both lights (dip and beam?).

Hang on; you really should have painted the rest of the bike yellow, it's a known fact yellow is faster!

the kit H3 low beam only; come complete w/ all the necessary hardware to install. although one need to cut the stock low beam rubber cover and find a place to locate the ballaster..

here some pics of it...





some misc pic..

Is it still waterproof after you cut the rubber cover?

To obtain the best light pattern the HID bulb should be placed in the high beam side, not the low beam side.

i think that is untrue what the article states; because ducati low beam come with retrofited headlight housing (like bmw) that regulate the pattern of the light beam output using the tube-ball (not sure how to call it).. versus the high beam side.
when add in the hid bulb will create a lot of incorrect light projecting..

thats my thinking..
so anyone have other thoughts welcome to teach me..

Looks like California to me. Thought it was always sunny there, no need for headlights
