Default Headlights on Ebay

Give me your opinions everyone...

Link 1, i was thinking i might want a red look to the lights because my bike is red...however, Linke 2 are the xenon 8000K bulbs...doesn't the price seem a little too low for both of them? They both claim to be in "new" condition.

I think that the red would not be the best light but would probably look cool parked.

i highly doubt that red bulbs up front are DOT legal. thats probably a bunch of crap. those other lights are fake HID bulbs. while they will look cooler than stock their light output at 55 watt will be crappy. and good luck if you are ever caught in the rain at night (if you even ride in those conditions) but all those lights will do is reflect off the water and you won't see ****

Ide just buy super bright White lights. I think it is better to be able to see down the road then have people stare at you because your lights are a different color.

p.s. But you should see if they have a ring that can go around the headlight, like the halo's do on certain car lights
I think that would be sweet.

yo mang...yellow is the best light for foul weather...HIDs gots to be so bright because white light has bad contrast with asphalt so they have to compensate by making it super duper bright.

run a white light bulb to help you see further in front of you and a yellow bulb so you can see the contrast on the asphalt in front of you.
IMO, HIDs are a waste of money...the just cast the light out there and light everything up, but regardless of all the light, contrast still not that great as if you had all yellow. too bad yellow light doesn't travel far.
