"Our Knowledge Section"

Here's what makes a real difference in high amperage electronics. Roll over our circuit board.	Others	Motorcycle dealers have called asking for information about our headlight modulators because their customers keep asking for a modulator. They tell us they really need something better than the brand they'd been getting through a distributor because it kept failing so they'd stopped selling modulators. This is unfortunate but tells us to keep doing what we do because - "We're surely doing something right".

Product Information

Don't overlook that Kriss headlight modulators are legal in U.S. (all states), Canada and now Australia.

	The original plug is removed. The bulb itself is not replaced
	Installation is a simple matter of pulling the original plug from the back of the bulb then connecting it to the unit and inserting our plug in its place on the bulb. Our wires are 12" in length to give you ease and flexibility. Our design of using a plug, rather than the modulator attached directly to the bulb, prevents high levels of heat generated by the bulb from transferring to the unit and shortening life expectancy.

 

 

When using our simple installation procedure for H1, H3, HB3, H9, etc. bulbs and installations with 4 or 6 pin amp plugs there's no need to deal with cumbersome external wiring or special connectors that violate the integrity of your original weather resistant plug.
Direct plug in for standard H7 1/4" spades. We really recommend the installation shown on the right to maintain design use of the original equipment dust cover.	* If you have something other than a standard H7 bulb with 1/4" spades, like an H1, H3, HB3, H9 etc., we provide you with these connectors that can be quickly and easily installed in the wires to accept plug & play installation of our modulator.

"ISD" Cool Energy Modulation"© (Here's something you should read)
There's an important design feature that separates a Kriss modulator from others on the market. The program code for our microprocessor sets an "Instant Step Down" (ISD) method of controlling the current flow to the bulb. Our circuit design creates a more crisp and brighter modulation because it doesn't waste current with a heat generating delay like those that slowly throttle down the current flow. It's a characteristic of a mosfet (the switching transistor) to get hot when changing state slowly so we put in the additional engineering to make it work fast. When the filament is at peak temperature our "ISD" sets the bottom level with lighting speed allowing the filament to cool naturally according to the design and material of the filament used in the bulb. An obvious benefit is that the filament is not going to be stressed by operating outside it's metallurgical limits. Our modulators last longer because they run cold and don't create life shortening heat like the others you'll find on the market.

Kriss "Easy TouchWire Programming" © (programming internal code is simple, being accomplished at the unit, by touching a wire to +12 volts and doesn't require any external hardware or computer) gives you the flexibility to change from our shade delay to instant response to any light changes.
"Kriss Shade Delay"© exclusive in Double Eagle Modulators is designed into the operating code so the modulation is not interrupted during those brief moments when you pass quickly under an overpass or behind a shaded area like a large tree. Our delay to light changes is an actual time delay in the software code and not an adjustment to the light sensor. Adjusting the light sensor simply disrupts the effectiveness of the normal shut off and turn on times established by the d.o.t. regulations.
If you prefer not to use the shade delay because you like instant reaction to light it takes just a few seconds to change the program that's being used.

is built into the standard Double Eagle circuit design because it modulates only one headlight beam and the circuit is independent of the other beam.
The Kriss engineering design incorporates the latest technology and should the modulated circuit fail it will usually operate like a normal bulb and simply stop modulating. If some unusually catastrophic event happens like a major short circuit or overload that damaged the circuit board then you always have the stock direct circuit to the other beam which is not connected to the modulator circuit, that's real protection.

No drilling holes in headlight or fairing to install our light detector.

Headlight modulators cannot be used on HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulbs.
