I just added a 35w VVME kit. Huge difference. Can't wait until the glacier recedes so I can get out & try it.

I did add a mod to my VFR light setup. Unlike the tenere, the lights come on when the ignition turns on.
I ended up installing a inline switch, and relay, to control the lights.
Turn the bike on, start engine, turn on switch, this will reduce the initial draw for the battery, as the HID's draw a lot on startup, and settle to an acceptable current once on.
