So the general consensus is to replace the H7 w/ a HID bulb only... there is no reason to do both the H4 and H7 then?

Thanks...

So... flashing HIDs is generally a bad idea, which brings back the question of a "switch". Since mine is an '04 pre-"headlight cut on start" switch. I would have to suppliment my install with a headlight switch of some sort... so that the headlight doesn't come on until after the bike is started or until I turn it on.

The bike gizmo thing should suffice or should I look elsewhere?

Well, I wasn't worried about the bike not starting, I was more worried about the flickering power source. I thought that the starter drain would be enough cause the HID to flicker while the starter motor is running... and I figured that flickering would eventually kill the ballast.
