I've got an opportunity to pick up a complete HID setup for my bike, and I'm wondering before I go and spend money only to find out its not worth it, has anyone tried it?

I know about the reflector housing and the glare issues and such, I've done my homework on that stuff, so now I'm just looking at the HID setup and thinking how can I make it work with minimal issues?

 

Good luck with it. Sounds interesting. I had been thinking of these: XENON HEADLIGHT BULB HID SET. I've used them on my car and they don't need any extra kit. Very bright white light, with a tint of blue too. Also a cheap option.

 

Just to update everyone on this. I just got my HID kit today, installed it with NO issues, and its a night and day difference compared to stock. WOW a 4500K HID kit is just BEAUTIFUL.

Its even focused nicely with no major distortion like I'd expected with the fluted glass headlight lense. its actually focused nicer than the conventional halogen bulb.

Anyone wanting to do an HID conversion to your old CBR, DO IT.

 

yeah, i did a conversion a few months back...even wrote a tutorial for it.

Yea I just got a Xetronics 6000k Hid system for xmas yesterday. Took me about 45 minutes to install. Looks amazing.

 

very nice guys! HID's FTW!!!
I just picked up a kit too

 

HIDs are TOTALLY worth it over stock crappy and weaksauce headlights.

 

I know this is an OLD thread, but how have the setups been working and holding up for people? and what brands have you guys used?

 

hi i fitted one to my cbr fk twin type lit up the sky but only problem i had was a delay in it switching on like it did not ,then it came on was like this all the time. took it off now because sold the old girl for a new bird ! good look make sure u buy the quality type with the small ballasts they fit in better
