Default 96 CBR F3 HID headlight

Can the Cbr f3 headlight be changed to using hid lights. I was curious because some say no. But I think it can be done. Anybody have some info on this. Would be greatly appreciated if so

it can be done, i just did it this past weekend and made a Huge difference. i can actually see at night now lol.
here is the kit that i used HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning
the only "difficult" part is finding a Good place to mount the ballast and control unit.
it doesnt come with instructions, but theres a good how-to write up on here to help if needed.

yea the only moding i had to do was cutting the rubber seal that keeps the buld from getting wet. the slim ballast from ddm really give you more mounting options too.
