can a capacitor handle 2 HIDs?

[ssilverado60]

Hey guys, Im planning on running 2 HID lights on my bike and I dont really want to run a battery if i dont have to. I dont care about running lights when the bike is off. All I care about is reliably getting my HIDs to fire. I am going to run 2 vison x bulbs in my stock headlights. I know I would be better off with a different lense but I dont like the look of any other headlights that I have found. If anyone knows of some HID lights that are close to the size of the factory lenses I may be interested in those as well. But anyways, has anyone run a pair of HIDs off of a capacitor and which size would you recommend? If not what would be the smallest and lightest battery I could run?

thanks

Trail tech sells capacitor kits for running hid's. I know the owner of visionx, he is a friend of mine and there main office and warehouse is in Algona, wa. Did you talk to Nick there about this?

No I havent, they are just the only place Ive heard of that makes a HID bulb that will fit in the stock lenses. And Ive heard pretty good things about their stuff and that its reliable and can take the abuse. Should I call nick direct? I havent done much searching yet as far as finding them and getting them for a decent price

is it the 56000 uf Capacitor? that is the bigger one on their website, or is there another one that I need to call about?

 

thanks again

Well yes call Nick direct. I dont know which capacitor, probably run the one they think will handle it. I haven't ran a capacitor yet. I did a dc conversion and a battery for a guy so he could run hid's.
