@ mhektheone When you cut the yellow wire your headlight will no longer turn on even headlight switch is on with engine running. Turn off engine then connect brown wire to yellow wire going to switch, if headlight switch turned on and your headlight and park light turned on then your MC is now battery operated.:)

yes its safe with proper wiring modification and if you include your headlight I think you will experience lowbat. But thon and john_carlo I think has this diagram all lights operated in battery except for headlight which is stator operated, you'll just need a relay.

One negative effect of converting you headlight to battery driven = poor lighting. Battery cannot supply high amps to illuminate bulb to its maximum capacity.

my current set up was this..need your inputs masters..

Hid-battery operated..
stock bulb and the rest of lights are Stator operated..

i made a switch on both bulbs...

Btw..the wiring harness was from X1r..its AHO..

Yes it is safe as long you know what you are doing..:D I have a diagram here.. All auxiliary lights are battery operated and still your headlight alone will be stator operated..:D you will just need one (1) relay to do this modification..:thumbsup: I will post later, I'm just having hard time to upload file here while I'm using our office's internet connection.. I'm using this modification on my late mio sporty..:thumbsup:

Just for the info. For a sniper, you don't need to replace you rectifier and battery nor separate your headlight from being battery driven.

Yes, relay will be used to direct HID positive supply to battery. Headlight switch will just serve as a trigger for the HID relay when turning on/off HID.

im too slow to get the picture in post #39. my wiring converted from AC to DC. battery driven. my moto HID is connected the RED and Black direct to Battery and blue and brown wire connected to the old power source of my sniper headlight. im just wondering where i will install Relay on my set up?

I guess HID relay is already built in in your HID wiring harness sir. The red wire (with fuse i guess) from the battery will pass through relay contact then going to HID positive supply.:)
