You can't just throw an HID kit into a regular light housing not designed for it. The beam is al over the place and you have ****loads of glare that is all over the place (prefferably in other peoples vision). The light is also less concentrated, and unless you get 4300k HID's you will lose visibilty. The higher the number, the less light is going out. That's why those ricers have those 12k's and I want to stab them in the face

 

i know about the kelvins. also know about the fact that putting HID's into a non HID housing isnt the right way to do things. just didnt understand wat he said lol. i will be going for 4000k's like i have on my car

 

no... actually higher numbers mean that the light is shifted more towards blue.

 

My bike came with one of this things. One day this dang bulb burned my headlight glass and I had to change the whole unit. Besides this stuff is not DOT and drains the battery faster. I stick with OEM. Enough light for everything.

 

I have an HID conversion kit on mine, with an 8000k output bulb. It is so much better then my stock bulb setup. The only thing i had to do was modify the rubber dust cover to accommodate some extra wires coming from the new bulb plug and find a good place to mount the ballast. I don't have projectors on mine and the light is concentrated and doesn't seem to blind people when i drive by them (oncoming drivers dont flash there brights at me). I can see twice as far and things look a lot clearer at night.
