Ya, the xenon are just regular bulbs that emit more light. Just make sure you get the same wattage bulbs as stock. For HID you gotta get a kit (bulb, ballast, ignitor) but it will shame the xenon's. Cost is a big factor : xenons can be had for under $20 a set. HID is gonna set you back at least $150 for 1 kit.

 

thanks for that, i searched around today and sort of figured that was the case. The globes on Oz 98's are 45/45w where as the rest of the world got 60/55w, so i'm gonna upgrade to those in xenon as a start, rekon it'll make a heap of difference from my perspective,

I recomend SilverStar headlights. A set for my 99 900RR costs about $40. Turns night into day. *caution* Look into them too long and they`ll fry your eyes

 

here is a link to upgrade to HID it is a bit pricey but I bought the ones for my Saturn and it is a good deal for the price I don't know what type of bulbd my bike use (94 cbr900rr) because I havent seen it yet but if I have h4's like you I would buy a kit.

Regular H4 style lights will not fit in my 99 900rr. The two prongs on the lower part do not line up with the ones on the bike.?.?.? I will modify though.
