Jumping the reed switches in the CMU only stops the warning light from coming on.
I know there are some differences in the RLU between the MKI and the MKII like I have.
The RLU is completely independent of the CMU, the RLU is what will switch to the good element if one headlight element burns out.
Depending on which HID you have You may or may not have to remove the RLU.
If your HID is pulling its power from the headlight connector then the RLU will probably work ok. If your HID has a separate fused power wire, then the RLU will need to be disabled.
I have the separate power type Bi-Xenon HID. What it did was, because the current draw was not enough in the bikes headlight circuit it decided that the low beam was burnt out so it would switch to Hi beam, but then the hi beam current was to low so it would switch to lo beam, but then the lo beam current was to low so........................... It would just keep switching between hi and low at an extremely fast speed. the switching speed is faster than than you can see and is faster than the HID can react. so the motor that moves the bulb is going to burn out quickly.
With the bike not running but the key in the run position and the HID turned on, listen to the bulb, if it is buzzing you need to work on the RLU.
