Default THE H.I.D's

okay here goes everyone i want to install H.I.D's on my bike. I have a 2002 black/yellow honda cbr f4i. I want the greatest light output and iwant the 4300k temp I hear that is the brightest light output with 3200lm output.My first question is what is my bulb size? H4 or H7 What is it?? My next question is i notice alot of you have 35 watts i was doind alot ofresearch and i seen a 55watt set single beam 4300k temp. It uses 20amps to start then drops down to 4 or 5watts. Is this safe to do will it effect my battery/bike in any way, is it safe??note**(this kit i saw isnot the slim ballastmade for motorcycles itis the fatter ballast madeprimarily for cars)PLease someone out there with knowledge of H.I.D's let me know some of your knowledge.

The F4i uses H7 bulbs on both sides. Depending on the brand, you may have to do a little trimming to a plastic piece that goes around the bulb, but it's easy.

Stick with the 35W kit. The 55W kits are more likely to burn out your wiring harness, and the glare on them at night will be ridiculous.
